Details: The route for Saturday's parade in downtown Grand Haven is already filling up with caution tape, stakes and flags.

But according to the Grand Haven Department of Public Works, spots can't be reserved for either the Coast Guard Festival Grand Parade on Saturday afternoon or that evening's fireworks show until 12:01 a.m. Friday.

City crews will remove items used to reserve spots along the waterfront or the city marina, but not in the rights of way along the parade route, according to Grand Haven Community Affairs Manager Sandy Katt.

No plastic tarps, duct tape, rocks or stakes are allowed for reserving spots, according to a city notice. Mooring along the seawall isn't allowed from noon Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday, the notice said.
