Yes, the very popuar Grand Haven Musical Fountain is the same size as a football field and the led lighting is very bright with brilliant colors, over 16 million colors. The water goes 125+ feet high and moves up and down from the hundreds of nozzles and goes side to side in motions with the music also. Right on the waterfront at the end of a very clean downtown and has huge high pressure pumps taking water from the Grand River and then returing it back to the river. Thousands of different programs each 20 minutes long and plays every night from May until October. Almost unlimited fast changing spray configurations/patterns, lighting, and very intense sound system. So many come back very often to view programs night after night.
Theres a stadium and stage on the waterfront that holds around 3,000 people total plus the wide 1.7 mile long boardwalk and also a big grass sloping down to the boardwalk park for viewing and is very popular for blanket sitting or just bring a folding lawn chair or bag chair and stretch out and enjoy. The fountain, stadium, boardwalk, and park and it's all entirely free to everyone and so is the parking. Depending on the weather, there will be from a few hundred to many thousands veiwing a performance. The Musical Fountain was originally built in 1961 and 1962 with the 1st performance in the Fall of 1962 and has been very popular always and still is today. Public very clean large flush toilet tiled bathrooms less than 100 yards from the stadium on one side and another smaller one on the other side at the large grassy park about 200 yards away. More than a thousand of free parking lot spaces right near the stadium and all is handicapped friendly. Lots of other performance and weekly dances plus very popular non-denominational every Sunday night church services and hymn sings all summer and fall long.
We have lived at Grand Haven for 0ver 70 years and know and we'd watched it being built over 50 years ago. It's ageless and extremely well maintained and constantly being updated. - krobbeExplorerGrand Haven, MI - Coast Guard City, USA
