Stupid COVID-19 is ruining everything, including the annual GR Santa Parade. Due to new restrictions put out by the MDHHS, the GR Jaycees and parade committee decided it was best to say, "maybe next year, Santa."
There are a lot of Christmas related events this weekend along with some comedy and music. We also have a few outdoor activities from skating to fat tire biking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing. There is The Nutcracker, The Polar Express, Lights Out and Basketball. We also have a Santa Parade and a Santa Train!
The 2016 Art Van Santa Parade presented by the Grand Rapids Jaycees is Saturday, November 19.
The parade has named the grand marshal and special musical guest.
This past Saturday Andy Rent and I rode along the Grand Rapids Santa parade route on a brisk, cold Saturday morning in our 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible (imported from Detroit) from our friends at Harold Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Grandville and Rev Business Systems...
The Jaycees did it right again this year! 30,000 people showed up for the Santa Parade. Andy Rent and I were riding on the back end of a beautiful black cadillac courtesy of Car City! Fun Day! Enjoy some pics from the parade by clicking on the link below...
