National Marina Day is held on the second Saturday in August in Grand Rivers.  There is water fun for kids including free kayak rides and paddleboats, free sailboat rides, live music and fireworks.

In this little village of only 230 households and over 600 boat slips, National Marina Day is a big Celebration.  The National Marina Day celebration in Grand Rivers is scheduled for Saturday, August 9, and activities will take place at Green Turtle Bay Marina and Resort and Lighthouse Landing Marina and Resort.

Join us in Grand Rivers to celebrate National Marina Day with Green Turtle Bay and Lighthouse Landing.   These marinas give our community and visitors access to clean healthy waterways.  We salute the role they play in the American recreational boating industry!
