Grand haven dancing on the waterfront

For those planning an excursion to the lakeshore city of Grand Haven Michigan, it is often a must to stop at the Grand Haven Musical Fountain. Located on Dewey Hill, the fountain has been a fixture in the community since 1962 and brings a smile to everyone’s face.

About the Grand Haven Musical Fountain

Imagine a hot summer night while enjoying an ice cream cone or celebrating the end of a great day at the beach, listening to your favorite tunes accompanied by dancing streams of water and color.

While Grand Haven has a variety of restaurants, shops, beautiful beaches, and a brewery, the musical fountain really stands out.

The Inspiration

The Grand Haven Musical Fountain was inspired into being when a gentleman from the city observed a similar fountain overseas.

At the time of its construction, the fountain was considered one of the world’s largest musical fountains.

Over the years, the fountain “hasn’t changed a lot,” but now “everything’s run off a computer.” However, Vivian adds, “All of the piping is original and two out of the three pumps are original.”
