Registration for Peachtree City’s July 4th-turned-Labor Day weekend parade opened on July 29 for city residents and will open on Aug. 5 for the rest of Fayette County.

The parade will begin at 9 a.m. on Sept. 5 along the same two-mile route, starting on Peachtree Parkway South outside Village on the Green and proceeding north to McIntosh Trail. Participation is limited to Fayette residents, businesses, organizations and politicians. Slots will be assigned until Aug. 26, or sooner if space fills up.

The order of the entries will be determined by the recreation staff, not the order of registration. The registration fee is $50 for non-city commercial businesses, $25 for county residents, nonprofits, churches and politicians, and free for Peachtree City residents, businesses, civic groups, churches and politicians. Entries must be fully decorated “patriotically in a family-friendly manner.”

A fireworks display at Lake Peachtree is scheduled for that evening at 8:30 p.m.

No policies have been announced for either event regarding social distancing or other spectator safety provisions related to COVID-19.
