The 60th "Great Michigan Parade" begins at 1:30 p.m. Once voted Michigan's Best Small Town Parade by The Detroit News, Richmond's parade is the LARGEST marching musical parade in Michigan.

Please note: In 2018, the parade route was shortened, and will run south on Main Street from Ridge Street to Mary Street. Shortening the parade will greatly help many of the bands are unable to complete a longer route. We know change can be difficult, but by making this change, we feel we can continue to put on one of Michigan's best parades, and continue to attract quality entries.
For those participating in the parade, check in will be at Main Street and Park Street.
