The route will follow the map at right. The parade begins at the intersection of Goold and Main Streets, runs south down Main through Downtown, and turns west on 14th Street.
Be sure to arrive early, as parking downtown is at a premium. An estimated 100,000 spectators views the annual extravaganza.
And don't forget the fireworks! The 40-minute fireworks exhibition will begin at dusk on July 5, approximately 9:20 p.m. The fireworks show can be seen from anywhere up and down the Lake Michigan shoreline.
