🎖️ Honor Our Heroes with a Downtown Banner ✨

In response to the overwhelming interest in the Downtown Cadillac Hometown Heroes Banner Program, the DDA has decided to open registration for next year's banners. The Hometown Heroes Banner Program is a meaningful community initiative that celebrates the service and sacrifice of military personnel connected to Wexford and Missaukee Counties. This program invites families, businesses, and community members to honor active-duty service members, veterans, and those who gave their lives in service by sponsoring a commemorative banner displayed in the heart of downtown.

Program Details

Deadline Date: 5:00pm EST, Friday, April 02, 2027

Display Dates: July 4, 2027 through November 11, 2027 (Independence Day through Veteran's Day)

Location: Downtown Cadillac – Mitchell Street & Cadillac Commons

Each banner will be proudly displayed on downtown lampposts, creating a powerful visual tribute that brings the community together in remembrance and gratitude. This program not only honors individual heroes but also strengthens civic pride, preserves local military history, and ensures that their legacy is visible and celebrated by all who live in and visit Cadillac.

*To ensure your banner is on display on Independence Day, complete banner requests must be submitted by 5:00pm EST on Friday, April 02, 2027.

*Banner photos are examples only. Actual banners may vary slightly but will include a photo of your servicemember and pertinent military service information.

*Please note that specific banner locations cannot be requested or guaranteed. Banners will be displayed along Mitchell Street or within the Cadillac Commons. To maintain consistency, returning participants will have their banners rehung in their previous locations first, after which all new banners will be placed in the remaining available spots.
