The Georgia United, Freedom Day Parade's initialtive is to have statewide representation that includes participation from every city in Georgia! 

INTRODUCING: Georgia United's Freedom Day Parade Initiative
Georgia United's Freedom Day Parade Initiative is dedicated to establishing a nationally televised Freedom Day parade in Georgia. This initiative encourages participation and representation from every city across the state, culminating in a collective parade that showcases statewide unity, highlights cooperative economics, and encompasses all facets of American history. This Juneteenth celebration pays tribute to historic freedom fighters and includes educational reenactments through parade floats, inflatables, characters, marching bands, youth organizations, and much more. With a strong emphasis on music, art, and theater, this event is designed to draw visitors from around the globe. We will come together to honor our ancestors by reenacting their struggles and celebrating their achievements and contributions, which have paved the way for many of the freedoms we enjoy today. Georgia United's Freedom Day Parade is rooted in the principles of freedom, liberty, and justice for all people, everywhere, at all times.​

The GEORGIA UNITED TEAM will be visiting your city soon.
