How and why the coast guard festival started

The festival unofficially began in 1924 as a Coast Guard personnel only picnic when the local Coast Guard station held rowing competitions for those service members stationed in Grand Haven. The first festival began in 1937 and ever since we have honored our coast guard. Why we have it to honor the brave coast guard men and woman for there services? What do they do their now?  They have free rides and a carnival shows up just for us also don't forget the killer fireworks.Don't forget the ninja parade. We still honor the brave men and women that defend and protect our land, water, and air.
