Desfile de 4 de julho em Dunwoody

Love a parade? Who doesn't?! Come out to Dunwoody for the Largest 4th Of July Parade In Georgia to see marching bands, floats, clowns, local celebrities, and more! The parade starts at 9 a.m. and is a two-mile route that starts at the intersection of Mount Vernon and Jett Ferry Road and proceeds west to Dunwoody Village near Village Burger. The procession typically takes about an hour and is followed by post-parade activities including food and entertainment, awards for best floats, antique cars, military vehicles, animal units, musical groups, themed characters and cheerleading teams. Last year the parade attracted over 2,500 participants and 32,000 spectators.

Peachtree Road Race

Held annually on the 4th of July, the Peachtree Road Race is the largest running event in the U.S. and the world's largest 10K. Celebrating its 54th year, the Peachtree Road Race is projected to have 60,000 participants with runners and walkers as young as 10 years old. This Atlanta tradition starts in Buckhead near Lenox Square Mall and ends in Piedmont Park. The race will begin in waves starting at 6:45 a.m. and will be televised on the NBC Sports Network, with live coverage from local news and radio stations as well. Spectators can also watch from the sidelines at various mile markers to cheer on runners and walkers.

Stone Mountain

Every year, Stone Mountain Park puts together an amazing Fourth of July celebration worthy of all the rants and raves. It was voted "Best Place to See Fireworks in Atlanta" by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, a "Must-See Fireworks Show" by USA Today, and one of Reader's Digests' picks for "America's Most Spectacular Fourth of July Fireworks." This year's event includes a drone and laser show and a patriotic fireworks finale. The best part is that this experience is available before and beyond the Fourth of July.
