"Let Freedom Ring Parade" Recap (Marietta, GA)

This Independence Day, we took the family to the annual "Let Freedom Ring Parade" in Marietta, Georgia. Since we were at the beginning of the route, the parade started at 10 AM and lasted for a full hour! It was interesting to see so many organizations coming out to celebrate our freedom and to honor those who make it possible.


I probably took a good 200 pictures! I have chosen a selection of the most memorable moments from this year's parade to share. I skipped over the countless campaigning politicians- you're welcome!


If it had wheels or could be put on wheels, it was in the parade.

Veterans from various branches of the military were represented.

Only in America!
Only in the South!

You know I can't do a recap without sharing a few photos of the family!

We hope that everyone had a great July 4th celebration!


Have you ever been to a parade? 
Tell us how you celebrated Independence Day this year!

  3. That's a pretty nice parade your town puts on. We got that hurricane here on July 4th, so the parade was rescheduled for July 5th, but we couldn't make it :(
