There are four warm weather parades in Owosso, Michigan: The huge Curwood Festival Heritage Parade, which draws an audience of 45,000 to 60,000; the Kids in Curwood Parade, which is held the evening before the Curwood Festival Heritage Parade; the Owosso High School Homecoming Parade; and the smallest, but most important parade of all, the Owosso Memorial Day Parade.

Featured in the parade are Owosso veterans, the Owosso High School Freshman Marching Band, and the Owosso Middle School Marching Band.

The Owosso Memorial Day Parade begins in front of Lafayette Square Park, which is in the residential area of North Washington Street. It then heads south down Washington Street for nearly a mile to Oak Hill Cemetery. There, a solemn ceremony is held among the graves of a few of the relatively huge number of Owosso citizens per capita who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Viet Nam, the Gulf War, and in Iraq and Afghanistan.
