4th of July Parade 2023

The Stan Brubaker Celebrate America 4th of July Parade celebrates America with a myriad of floats and vintage vehicles as they parade from Glen Haven to Glen Arbor. Parade starts at noon. The 61st parade will take place on July 4th, 2023.

Anyone is welcome to participate. No registration required. 

10:30am John DePuy will be coordinating the assembling of vehicles and the launch from Glen Haven beginning at 10:30am. The lineup is organized by volunteers. If you’re a walker joining the parade, please enter the parade closer to town, via Forest Haven Rd.

Peter Van Nort will be in charge of pedestrian participation at Forest Haven. Please do not enter parade until the last vehicle passes.

12pm the line up will roar slowly out of Glen Haven to parade into Glen Arbor.

The parade marshal for 2023 is Rodney Brubaker. The children and grandchildren of Stan express appreciation to Glen Arbor for honoring America on this special day! 

NOTE: Please contact the Township office at (231)334-3539 if you can help with the “broom crew.”  More helpers are needed. Extra effort will be made to help parents keep their children safe by sweeping candy that doesn’t reach the curb. Flagging tape linking orange cones will emphasize the boundary for parents and their children. Water balloons and squirt guns are prohibited and we ask you to spread the word to all our spectators. Don and Annette Lewis will be coordinating the “broom crew” along Western Avenue.
