The East Atlanta Strut Parade, the wackiest and most fun parade in East Atlanta has opened its call for entries. This year the parade is urging groups of neighbors to show off pride in their streets by joining the parade.
The parade will start at 2:00 PM, Saturday September 27, at Glenwood and Patterson Avenues. Organizers of the parade recognize that neighbors on many streets have bonded. From neighborhood watch groups to block parties like May on May and Haastoberfest, East Atlantans have raised the profile of their little parts of the neighborhood. The Strut is challenging these groups to rep their ‘hood even more by marching under their street’s sign in the Strut Parade.
The parade is also a great way to mark a birthday or other special occasion; register under the Celebration category, grab some friends, make a sign, don some decorations and hit the road!
Other Parade categories are Band, Pets, Kids, Classic/Art car or truck, Scooter/Bicycle or Anything Goes. Street groups should choose Anything Goes!
Winners in the various parade categories will take home a coveted Strut Parade trophy which is a priceless work of folk art. This year there also will be a grand prize winner that will take home $100 in gift certificates to East Atlanta Village businesses. Go to EastAtlantaStrut.com to register or to get more information.
