Fourth of July Family Fireworks cancels parade downtown

Great. What are we going to do with our temporary patriotic tattoos now?

Sadly, Amway announced today that what would be its fourth annual downtown parade has been canceled due to lack of participation by local organizations.

Fear not, all previously scheduled entertaining and fireworks will still go on.

Head to Ah-Nab-Awen Park, at 303 Pearl St. NW, at 6 p.m. on Thursday for a naturalization ceremony where new West Michigan residents will become citizens.

Live music and children’s activities will follow, including a fireworks show at 10:30 p.m.
