Johns Creek Founders Day Parade Set For Dec. 2

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- The Johns Creek Founders Day Parade is a month away, providing you with a chance to celebrate the city's incorporation. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 2, and will include community favorites such as the Yaarab Shriners, princesses from Olivia’s Dollhouse and more.

And, the Gwinnett Braves mascot, Chopper, will also be back to help ring in the 2017 holiday season. The annual Founders Day Parade, which starts at 10 a.m., is a celebration for the whole family and marks the start of the north Fulton holiday season.

The 1.4 mile-long parade has grown in popularity, as thousands of spectators are expected to line the parade route along State Bridge Road. The route will begin at West Morton Road and will travel west to Kimball Bridge Road. If you want to show your community pride and strut your stuff, there's still time to enter your civic group, homeowner association, scout troop or business to be in the parade line up.

The deadline to enter your organization for parade, the theme for which is "Happy Holidays," is Nov. 6 and can be done by clicking here. Competition is spirited, as groups and organizations vie for Best Subdivision, Best Business/Civic Group and Best School/Scout float.
