Superintendent Northup with the Lakeshore's entry in the Munising Fourth of July parade

Fourth of July parades are a tradition throughout small towns across America, and Upper Michigan communities have some of the best celebrations.

In 2006, to help commemorate the 40th anniversary of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the park joined the Munising and Grand Marais parades. The lakeshore has joined the parades in our gateway communities many other years, but this year we have a few photos to share.

The National Park Service joins the Michigan State Police, Munising City Police Department, Alger County Sheriff's Department, and USDA Forest Service to lead the Munising parade.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is America's first National Lakeshore, authorized on October 15, 1966. On the same day, President Lyndon B. Johnson also signed into law another piece of landmark legislation -- the National Historic Preservation Act.
