Grants Pass has a Memorial Day celebration every Memorial Day weekend. It's called
Boatnik. They do a parade marathon jetboat racing, sprint boat racing, whitewater hydroplane racing, a carnival, golf shootout, lots of various vendors, a parade, fireworks and an F15 flyover. It's always a good time, and it's hosted by the Grants Pass Active Club which is a service club that benefits various youth orginaztions in the local community. We (the kids and I) go every year.
We also have a Christmas parade that the kids are usually in.
Brookings OR which is on the coast does a big fireworks show every year on the 4th of July and we usually go to that also.
