Marine City will unveil a new freighter-shaped public art installation at Broadway Park on Nov. 12, giving residents and visitors a place to attach commemorative locks in honor of meaningful connections. Installation of the Marine City Love Locks Freighter will begin at 4 p.m. at the park, 100 Broadway St., followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:20 p.m., according to a community announcement from the Marine City Area Chamber of Commerce. The sculpture was designed in the shape of a freighter as a nod to Marine City's maritime heritage.

Those supporters will receive engraved locks and be invited to attach them to the freighter during the celebration.
