Dacula Memorial Day Parade Accepting Applications
Do you want to be a part of the Memorial Day Parade in Dacula?
Celebrating its 19th anniversary in 2012, the is now accepting applications for the parade on Monday, May 28, 2012. This is the ONLY Memorial Day parade in Gwinnett County with an average of 140 units participating in the parade each year. The parade goes rain or shine. The theme for this year’s parade is “Their Sacrifice, Our Gratitude.” We will be saluting our Korean War Veterans this year.
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.
The parade features Veterans, Veterans groups, active and reserve service men and women, active and restored military vehicles, marching bands, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, churches, community and school groups, custom designed floats, local businesses, tractors, horses, antique and classic cars and trucks and much more!
