2. Dunwoody Fourth of July Parade
If you’re the type who likes to get up early, grab some donuts and coffee, and head out to celebrate the magic of the Fourth, this is the event for you. The Dunwoody Fourth of July parade is a great way to celebrate with all ages and features a lot more than your average city parade would offer. The festivities begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue throughout the afternoon with marching bands, floats, clowns, and trained animal units to wow and awe. Since this event is morning-exclusive, you can head out early and spend the afternoon indoors or in the pool to beat the worst of the heat.
Want to take it up a notch? Grab breakfast burritos at local favorite Mamas Cocina Latina—that’s been serving up quality Tex-Mex eats and treats since its launch in 2000.
3. Fourth in the Park at Glover Park
The Fourth in the Park event always offers guests a well-rounded experience. The festivities kick off at 10:00 a.m., and so does the parade! After the parade comes to a close, you can enjoy the free live music events held at numerous stages around Glover Park, as well as a community-hosted craft show and carnival game events. You have to play to win! After you try your luck, you can stop at any one of the delicious food vendors and trucks along the promenade area, tasting the delicious Southern flavors of Atlantan cuisine. You can also enjoy museum tours, fireworks shows, and more starting in the early to late evening. This event is perfect if you’re looking for a single-stop way to enjoy your Fourth, offering options that the whole family will enjoy.
