Description

The Grand Rapids, Michigan flag boasts a captivating design that echoes the city’s character and features. Set against a blue field, the flag’s centerpiece is the city’s emblem. This emblem takes the form of an oval with a vibrant yellow field, symbolizing the sun’s radiant energy.

A distinctive feature of the emblem is a narrow, undulating blue stripe that spans the lower third of the field. This dynamic stripe creatively represents the Grand River, a vital watercourse coursing through the heart of the city.

Resting atop this blue river stripe is a horizontal figure that portrays the iconic Alexander Calder sculpture, “La Grande Vitesse.” In the emblem, this sculpture takes on the likeness of a substantial chess pawn, reclining gracefully on its side. Designed by the talented sculptor and painter Joseph Kennebrew, this emblem is a fusion of artistry and symbolism, representing both the city’s cultural vibrancy and its strong connection to its riverine heritage.
