Celebration on the Grand was a free music festival held in Grand Rapids, Michigan to celebrate the quality of life in the Grand River valley and to act as an unofficial end to the summer for Grand Rapids and included a fireworks display. The event was held annually on the weekend following Labor Day weekend.

The first Celebration on the Grand took place in 1980 as a part of the events that opened the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, and the Grand Rapids Art Museum's move to the old Federal Building. Funding was provided by corporate sponsorships, private donations and fund raising activities held by COTG volunteers during.

Celebration’s mission was to celebrate the city and encourage others to celebrate the city. For a number of year’s Celebration accomplished this goal through the September Celebration event. Celebration had the opportunity to impact the city more by taking over the 4th of July festivities which fit neatly with its mission. So beginning July 4, 2014, Celebration will be putting on 4th of July festivities, in conjunction with the city, Townsquare and Amway. Celebration on the Grand was normally in September, but with the unique opportunity to put on the 4th of July, the committee jumped at the idea and is proud to be a part of the new improved partnership.

In May 2015 Celebration on the Grand announced the dissolution of the organization. The reason was that for over 30 years they worked to celebrate the people and the spirit of Grand Rapids, and they believed that they had fulfilled that mission. In the last decade the region has flourished and Celebration on the Grand was a catalyst for that growth. They chose to step aside and let other organizations find new ways to keep that momentum going.
