HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – The sounds of big rigs rolling through the downtown districts of Zeeland and Holland won’t be heard this coming Monday.
The Labor Day Truck Parade, which became a popular annual event right from its inception in 2006, won’t be held this year, a casualty of COVID 19 health restrictions about crowds. It has become a uniquely Lakeshore event, along the lines of Tulip Time, according to Linda Hart of the Holland Area Visitors Bureau.
“People are always so surprised, saying ‘wait a minute, you have a Truck Parade?’” Linda Hart of the Holland Area Visitors Bureau said on “WHTC Morning News” during her weekly appearance on Thursday. “There are not a lot of place that do something to that scale. It’s just a tribute to what great manufacturing companies, transportation companies that we have in the community, and it’s sad that it won’t be held this year.”
Organizers say that, “We’ll be back, bigger and better than ever!” in social media posts this week and on its website when the Holland/Zeeland Community Labor Day Truck Parade returns on September 6th, 2021.
