The Annual Coopersville Santa Claus Parade celebrates its 30th anniversary on Friday, December 3, 2010. 

Planning sessions for the 30th Annual Parade begin on April 13th, 7:00 p.m. in the 2nd Floor Training Room of City Hall, 289 Danforth Street.  Please share your ideas and talents to make this parade:

"An Event to Remember!"

One of the original night-time parades in Michigan, this annual event begins promptly at 7:00 p.m.  Professional and amateur floats, decorated vehicles and firetrucks compete for prizes as they travel along Main Street in the Historic Downtown District of Coopersville. 

Guests are invited to a free ride on the Coopersville & Marne Railway Shuttle from East Street adjacent to the school campus to the downtown area.  After their return ride they are invited to have free refreshments while the children have a visit with Santa.

Sponsoring this event is just one of the ways the members of the Coopersville Area Chamber of Commerce says “Thank You” to the community for their support.
