About the Parade
Founded by Marvin Atherton, the Dacula Memorial Day parade has been a
proud tradition in Dacula since 1994. The parade has grown over
the years with an average of 90 units participating each year!
Families begin to line the street hours before the parade begins. There
are 10,000 plus
spectators lining the parade route when the parade steps off at 10:00
a.m.
The Dacula Memorial Day parade is one of the most high profile events
in the metro Atlanta area on Memorial Day. It is important that
we take this opportunity to honor the sacrifice made by thousands of
Americans who died guarding our precious liberties and way of
life. As founder of the Dacula Memorial Day parade, it is my goal
to see that today's youth understand the significance of Memorial
Day. For this reason, every parade unit is to focus on honoring
our Fallen Heroes and display Patriotism.
The parade remembers and honors our Fallen Heores and features
Veterans, Veterans
organizations, active and
reserve service
men and women, active and restored military vehicles,
marching bands, Scouts, schools, churches, youth groups, community
groups, local businesses,
horses, antique and classic cars, tractors and
much more!
We hope you will plan to join us while we remember those who gave their
lives for our freedom!
