Grab a seat on a chair, bench, or curb and watch the Grandpa Shorter’s Fourth of July Parade at 6PM! The parade steps off onto Kalamazoo Street, and then takes a left onto Mitchell Street, then makes a right on Petoskey Street for a block, and then turns right on Lake Street where it ends at Pennsylvania Park.

The Fireworks Show is Petoskey’s grand celebration that will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display along the shores of Little Traverse Bay. The best viewing area is in Petoskey’s Bayfront Park.
