Parade attendees were not allowed to place anything down marking their parade spots before Friday. Tents, sand bags, tarps, duct tape, rocks, stakes or spray paint are still not allowed as they can kill the grass or present a tripping hazard.
The fireworks are at dusk over the Grand Haven channel Saturday.
