Editor’s Note: The parade portion of the event has been canceled. The festival will currently continue as planned from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Grayson Park.
Grayson’s largest annual event will return Saturday with a parade and festival.
The Gwinnett city will hold its 41st annual Grayson Day from 10 a.m.-4 p.m on April 24. The event will kick off with a car and walking parade, which will start at the Grayson Library on Grayson Parkway and end at Britt Street. There will be food vendors, music and booths with handmade crafts and items for sale.
The city organizes the event each year to celebrate Grayson, entertain children and bring the community together, said Heather Brookshire, assistant city administrator. The event was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Guests are encouraged to wear masks and social distance at the festival.
Anyone interested in participating in the parade should line up at the library from 8:30-9:30 a.m. No vehicles will be allowed to park at the library during the parade. Prior registration is not required to walk or ride in the parade.
The city will award $100 cash prizes for four categories: Mayor’s Award for the best overall entry, awards for the best non-commercial and commercial entries and an award for the Spirit of Grayson entry.
