HOLLAND — An annual holiday tradition returned to Holland and Zeeland this Labor Day in loud fashion.
The annual Holland/Zeeland Labor Day Truck Parade returned Monday, Sept. 6, after being canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Parade goers were treated to the sights and sounds of about 70 trucks during the event.
The parade made its way from downtown Zeeland to the Holland Civic Center in downtown Holland. Drivers then parked their rigs at the Civic Center for community members to tour.
An ice cream social was held in the Civic Center parking lot following the parade as well. Attendees could get free ice cream courtesy of Hutt Trucking. Balloon artists, face painting and a selfie station were also on site.
The Holland/Zeeland Labor Day Truck Parade was started in 2006 and has been an annual tradition ever since. It is meant as a way to celebrate and recognize the businesses and drivers of the West Michigan workforce.
