Parade Groups

Thank you for your interest in participating in the 46th Annual Grayson Day Festival, to be held at Grayson City Park in beautiful Grayson, Georgia, on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Grayson Day is a beloved annual tradition that brings our community together for a fun-filled day of fellowship in the heart of the city. The festival features a variety of vendors offering handmade crafts, antiques, commercial products, food, and promotional materials, along with games and activities for children of all ages.

The parade lineup begins at the Grayson Library (700 Grayson Pkwy) and the parade ends on Britt Street. All entries are to be at the parade line-up no earlier than 8:30 a.m. and no later than 9:30 a.m. the morning of the parade. 

We suggest that you meet your group at a separate location and travel together in the vehicle you will be in or walk together to the parade line-up. DO NOT plan to have your group meet at the library. If you wish to be announced by the emcee, please display a banner so he can identify your group.

The Gwinnett County Police will be on hand to assist and direct patrons and parade traffic.
