Dozens of schools, churches, civic groups, political candidates, local businesses and community organizations marched down Johnson Ferry Road Saturday morning in the 23rd annual East Cobber parade.
For nearly three hours, a busy stretch of one of East Cobb’s busiest thoroughfares was cleared of vehicles in a community celebration.
After the parade, more groups and businesses, food vendors and entertainers filled the south parking lot at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church for a community festival.
The dignitaries included school teachers of the year and Miss Cobb County. Several high school bands tooted fight songs in a quick turn-around from Friday night football games.
And kids brought bags to fill with candy thrown by parade participants.
Below are selected videos from the parade as well as a photo slideshow. (All East Cobb News photos and videos by Wendy Parker.)
