You don't wanna miss our America250 celebration coming up on June 27.
We're getting everyone together to celebrate America's 250th anniversary in a BIG way.
Family-friendly with no need to stop and fill up your gas tank to go out of town, these events are practically in your own backyard!
First up: A Red, White + Blue Parade in Downtown Cedartown!
This is a fully-sanctioned Shriners Parade, meaning that Shriners from all over Northwest Georgia will be making a stop in Cedartown that morning. We even have some Alabama Shriners coming over to participate! The parade starts at 10 a.m. Anyone can participate in this parade -- no fancy floats or decorations needed. Put on your best red, white, and blue outfit and come on down! We would love to see local businesses, churches, civic clubs and families participate in the fun. If you're more of a wallflower, no worries, you can wave your American flag from the sidewalk.
It's $0 to enter! All we ask is that you fill out a super short form so we know how many people to expect. There's also a refresher on American Flag Code we need you to read! https://form.jotform.com/260694248107157
After the parade, go shop a little downtown, grab a bite at one of our restaurants, rest a spell, and then come out to Bert Wood Park to play in adult kickball tournament. The tourney starts at 2 p.m. and just like the parade, anyone is welcome to sign up. It's totally free! Register your team here: www.cedartownrecreation.com
After the tournament, settle in for fam-friendly lawn games, delish food, and a 7 p.m. concert from Georgia Red Clay. Our LIGHT UP THE NIGHT professional FIREWORKS display begins at dark-thirty. Be sure to bring a blanket or lawn chair and some spending cash for food and treats!
We want to give a very special THANK YOU to our community partners -- SOLARCYCLE, Cedarstream, and Trammell Lawn Care, along with GFL Environmental and the Cedartown Exchange Club!
Their support means so much! Cedartown Celebrates America250 is happening because of their commitment to our town ☺️
