Get on your feet and join the Pied Piper Parade as it makes its way through downtown Decatur on Monday, July 4. Gather friends and family, ride your bike, walk or skate in this community parade – it’s for anyone and everyone! Neighborhoods and organizations are encouraged to make floats and join the fun too. And don’t forget your red, white and blue!

The parade begins at 6 p.m. The Concert on the Square starts at 7 p.m. in the Community Bandstand and features the Callanwolde Concert Band. Fireworks begin at dark (approximately 9 p.m.).
Anyone may participate in the parade, but those with vehicles must register by emailing [email protected] or by calling 678-553-6573.

The parade will be twice as long, with an excess of tossed candy, because it is an election year.
And I was very very wrong. Only two candidates. We’ve had a lot more in past election years.
