Independence Day has become a day for remembering soldiers, celebrating our freedoms, enjoying our summer, and backyard barbeques. What July 4th would be complete without a community parade? You can be a part of Main Street Newnan’s July 4th parade, one of the biggest and best parades in the area. All walking groups, floats, trucks, cars, etc. are welcome.

Main Street Newnan’s annual Fourth of July parade begins at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, July 4th. The parade starts at the City Park at the corner of Temple and Jackson Street and continues down Jackson and LaGrange Street to conclude at Newnan High School. The theme of this year’s parade is “Celebrating Freedom”.

After the completion of the parade, fun, festivities, children activities, and entertainment will be at Newnan High School’s Drake Stadium. Sponsored by the City of Newnan, Coweta County, and the Rotary Club, fireworks will begin at dusk.

“The great parade and fireworks display have become a great tradition for the community. Fourth of July activities in Newnan are hopefully on everyone’s ‘must-do’ list. It’s become another way to enjoy the holiday and really celebrate being an American,” said Alise Cartledge, Main Street Newnan Coordinator.

If you are interested in being in the parade, contact Alise Cartledge at Main Street at 770-253-8283 or go to www.mainstreetnewnan.com and fill out an application. The completed application can be faxed to 770-253-8753 or mailed to 6 First Avenue Newnan, GA 30263.

Applications must be received by Friday, June 29th. All entries are free to the public, and all participants must be ready to depart their designated location at 5:30 p.m
