2023 Christmas Parade

March of the Toys for Toys for Tots Parade

Friday, December 1st at 7:00 PM will be our annual March of the Toys for Toys for Tots Parade.

In order to be ready for the parade, and increase safety for our participants, we will need to begin road closures at 6:00 PM.  During the day on Friday, we will begin coming off the on-street parking spaces – as on-street parking is prohibited during the parade.  Residents in the Old Dawsonville Road corridor will have full access to their homes, but will need to use the Jordan Road access as Old Dawsonville Road will be a hard closure at Calvin Farmer Park.
