It’s a full week of music, entertainment and carnival rides on the waterfront as the city of Grand Haven presents their Coast Guard Festival. Marketing Director Annie Lengkeek says even though it’s all great fun, everyone remember the real purpose of the celebration.

“Our mission is to honor the men and women of the Coast Guard,” Lengkeek said. “So, with all of these events, we have 37 events throughout the week, and most of them are free to the public. Most of them are family-friendly. It’s just a way that Grand Haven really steps up to show the men and women of the Coast Guard that we appreciate what they do.”

Lengkeek says they will also have a Coast Guard recruiter at the Festival.
