Happy Birthday, America!

For 86 years the city of Wyandotte has celebrated our nation’s birthday the same way, with an old fashioned Independence Day Parade right down the middle of Biddle Avenue. Thousands lined the streets as bands, clowns and veterans groups paraded past. The Shriners were there, of course, and there was lots of candy passed out to the grateful children. Wyandotte is proud to recognize and honor our veterans and servicemen and servicewomen and provide a quality family event to Downriver citizens. Since this is the largest Fourth of July Parade in the area, it is viewed by thousands of citizens over Wyandotte’s cable network and along the main street. For nearly one hundred years people have gathered in Wyandotte to celebrate the founding of the United States of America and the tradition is still going strong.
