Independence Day Events in Decatur

July 3, 2008 | 11:34 am

From the city’s website…

Join Decatur’s July 4th Pied Piper Parade as it winds through downtown Decatur. Decorate your wagon, ride your bike, skate, or walk in this event.

The City Commissioners will lead the parade in the mini-firetruck. Neighborhoods and organizations are encouraged to make floats and join the fun.

Parade line-up is at the First Baptist Church of Decatur at 5:30 p.m. The parade begins at 6 p.m. It ends at the Community Bandstand on the square with a presentation of colors and the Star Spangled Banner.

Anyone may participate in the parade but those with vehicles must register by completing the July 4th Pied Piper Parade Guidelines form.

The concert, featuring the Callanwolde Concert Band, begins at 7 p.m. in the Community Bandstand. Fireworks begin at dark (approximately 9 p.m.) and are shot from the top of the DeKalb County parking deck.

For information call 404-371-8386 or email cheryl.burnette@decaturga.com. For 24-hour information call the Decatur Events Hotline, 404-371-8262, or check this website.

Also checkout the city’s sidewalk sale all weekend long. See the list of participants HERE. [h/t: DecaturMom]  UPDATE: Jeff at Whit’s End notes that he will also be participating in this weekend’s sidewalk sale even though he didn’t make the city’s brochure.  He also will be participating in the Decatur Green Bag program, once the reusable bags are given out this month.
