EAST COBBER magazine announced this week that it’s resuming its signature parade and community festival this year after a nearly four-year hiatus.
A message on the magazine’s website said the event date is Saturday, Sept. 9, with the parade marching off from Mt. Bethel Elementary School at 10 a.m. and down Johnson Ferry Road to Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. where the festival continues until 5 p.m.
It will mark the 25th staging of the festival, which along with the parade hasn’t been held since 2019 due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the sale of the magazine last year from founder Cynthia Rozzo to Laren Brown, the publication’s former advertising representative.
Rozzo started the magazine in 1993 and began the parade in 1995.
After the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, the magazine went from publishing 11 times a year to six times a year. At the start of 2023, the EAST COBBER began publishing again on a monthly basis, with a combined June/July issue.
