The Niles, MI parade will take place at 10 a.m. Monday beginning in
downtown Niles. The line-up area has changed due to the ongoing project to
restore the Main Street Bridge. Line-up will begin at 9 a.m. at Niles City Hall,
located at 333. N. 2nd St., Niles, MI 49120.
“This is a very important parade for our community’s veterans,”
said John Sly, American Legion Post 26 commander. “Let’s all turn out and show
our country’s pride and support for all our veterans of past wars and all the
soldiers that are in all our present day armed forces.”
The parade route will follow Main Street east to Silverbrook
Cemetery where a service will take place. A wreath will be placed in the
Veterans Circle and Pastor Jeff Whittaker will provide an opening and closing
prayer. Sen. John Proos (MI State Senate, Lansing, MI) is scheduled to speak and the Niles High School band
will provide patriotic music.
