The Inaugural Celebrate Community Parade will step off on Saturday, July 1 at 10 a.m. from Conyers First United Methodist Church, 921 North Main Street, in Olde Town Conyers.

Community ParadeResidents are encouraged to gather in the church parking lot as early as 9:30 a.m. for the walking parade that will feature decorated wagons, bicycles, and golf carts. Those participating in the Celebrate Community Parade or spectating along the half mile route through the historic residential district of Olde Town Conyers are encouraged to wear red, white and blue, or patriotic attire. Prizes will be awarded at the parade’s conclusion for best decorated wagons, bicycles, golf carts, and most patriotic pets.

“We listened to residents who’ve wanted a patriotic event in Conyers so we thought we’d try something the weekend before the July 4 holiday,” said Olde Town Event Coordinator Sandy Fowler. “The Celebrate Community Parade will have a real homegrown feel to it and we hope we’ll have just as many spectators along the route as participants in the parade all decked out in their red, white, and blue. It will be a celebration of our community and our country.”

Streets impacted will be North Main Street, College Avenue, Park Circle, and a portion of Rosser Street. No motorized vehicles will be allowed in the parade and no vendors will be permitted in the parade staging area. There is no cost to participate in the parade.
