Get ready to ring in the holiday cheer because the Conyers Christmas Parade is just around the corner, stepping off on December 6 at 2:00 p.m. The holiday spectacle, drawing families and festivity enthusiasts alike, will course through Conyers, Georgia, shutting down key roads for its grand procession.
For those planning to attend, be aware that Conyers Police will place barriers at Rowland Road, Pine Log Road, and a slice of Milstead Avenue before the parade. Starting from Rockdale County High School, the parade will make its journey ending at the corner of Milstead Avenue and Pine Street. To secure a good view, spectators are encouraged to stake out their spots early along the parade route. The event is set to take place come rain or shine, unless severe weather interferes, according to the City of Conyers.
In a statement obtained by the City of Conyers, "Storybook Christmas" is this year's theme, inspiring participants to evoke the essence of timeless Christmas tales within their entries and decorations. Olde Town Event Coordinator Shertekia DiNardo elaborated on the competitive element that comes with the festivities, stating, "trophies will be awarded in several categories: Mayor’s Choice, Best Non-Float entry (antique vehicles, marching bands, dance groups, scout troops), Best Float, Best Float Runner-up and Most Creative Entry." Creativity is sure to be at its peak as community members vie for the top spot in these various sections.
Over 70 entries will add to the parade's vibrancy, including local high school bands, diverse dance groups, devout churches, scout troops teeming with youthful enthusiasm, and a range of civic organizations and businesses. All participants will be heralding the arrival of Santa Claus, the iconic figure whose conclusion signals the end of the parade and the coming days of celebration.
