The 22nd Annual Dacula Memorial Day parade theme pays honor to those men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice with their service to our country. Their families will never forget them and it is also right that we should remember them too.

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. Our goal is that today’s youth must understand the significance and meaning of Memorial Day.
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 and remains the only Memorial Day parade in the metro Atlanta area, largest in the state of Georgia and one of the largest in our nation with more than 150 units participating in the parade each year. More than 10,000 spectators line city streets to watch the parade.
