A parade kicks off the fun and is followed by an all day festival on the Marietta Square with arts and crafts, carnival games, entertainment, food concessions, concerts and fireworks display.
The parade features 100 entries and nearly 2,000 participants and begins at 10 a.m. at the Roswell Street Baptist Church. The parade will go down Roswell Street to East Park Square and end at the Cobb County Police Headquarters on North Marietta Parkway.
Roswell Street and all streets it crosses will be closed for the parade from 9:15 a.m. until the parade concludes around 12:15 p.m. North, South, East and West Park Streets around the historic Marietta Square will be closed the entire day for the festival.
The Festival promotes tourism, community spirit, quality family fun, and attracts an estimated crowd of 80,000.
Is it too late to walk in the 4th of July Parade with a banner for a new church starting up in September?
Probably too late, but call Maggi Knox at the Marietta City Hall.
Does anyone know what time the fireworks start at the Marietta Square? I would assume dusk but I just wanted to double check.
Hi Sarabeth, you are right, it’s usually around dusk - it’s a great display! Hope to see everyone there! - Matthew
