On behalf of the City of Snellville, I would like to extend an invitation for your organization to participate in this year’s Snellville Days Parade.  The annual parade kicks off the Snellville Days Festival on Saturday, May 3 at 10 a.m.  Various entries including schools, churches, civic organizations and businesses, will participate in this year’s parade.  There is no entry fee.  Floats will be judged at 9 a.m. based on theme, originality and creativity.  Cash prizes will be awarded to First Place ($600), Second Place ($400) and Third Place ($200).  Floats that are not present at 9 a.m. will not be eligible for judging. 

Our theme for the 35th Annual Snellville Days Festival is “A One Time Event That's Lasted 35 Years! ”  We are encouraging all parade participants to use their entries and floats to demonstrate Snellville’s history and traditions.  This will be the second year of the parade route through our Town Center district.  The parade will begin at the Wisteria Village Shopping Center, travel down Wisteria Drive, turn left on North Road, turn left on Oak Road, and conclude at Clower Street.

Please make note of all the parade guidelines listed on the parade application.  If you need additional information about the Snellville Days Parade or assistance with float ideas, please contact the park office at 770-985-3535.  With your help, we’ll make this year’s parade the best ever!

Sincerely,

Cyndee L. Bonacci, CPRP
