Parade now open to all Fayette residents

Now that early registration is over for Peachtree City’s annual July 4 parade, organizers will begin accepting out-of-city entries from all Fayette residents.

Registration will be taken only at the city’s recreation administration building, located at 191 McIntosh Trail. Entries from out of county will not be allowed this year unless they are invited by parade organizers to enhance the parade’s overall patriotic or aesthetic appeal.

Peachtree City residents were able to register their parade entries last week.

Out-of-city entries from residents and service, civic or church organizations will be charged a $25 fee. Out-of-city commercial businesses will be charged a $50 fee.

All fees must be paid by June 17. The fees will help defray some of the costs from hosting the parade.

All registered entries will receive e-mails with general information such as start time, start location and line-up number.

Organizers are trying to limit the size of the parade this year, which has grown significantly since its inception as a golf cart parade.
