We’re getting in the spirit of the month of Adar, when things are turned upside down, and we have the county’s full support to walk down a state route dressed as Queen Esther. Look for the signs, flags, and rides and join us as we begin our third decade of celebrating with the community. Get online and pre-purchase tickets to avoid the lines, and then mark your calendar – Sunday, March 13, 11:00am parade, 11:45 – 3:00pm festival. To help keep everyone healthy, all festival activities have been moved outdoors, utilizing the front, back, and side lots of Beth Jacob’s campus, including near the Atlanta Scholars Kollel and Temima High School parking lot. This year’s parade is very exciting for the community, as most families are just starting to get back out to socializing after a long few years of COVID restrictions. The parade is all-inclusive, with a special designated quiet area for Friendship Circle participants, and no-wait bracelets for those who have difficulty waiting in lines. The 2020 Purim Parade & Festival honored local Dekalb safety officials, with Chief Lumpkin leading the parade as marshal, and addressing the crowd briefly at the end of the parade. Parents who fondly recall watching the parade as kids join the festivities with their own kids, and the tradition continues with the next generation. Hundreds of families line the street and watch the parade, and then head toward the Beth Jacob campus for a massive festival, with mechanical and blow-up rides and games, photo booth, kiddy train, petting zoo and pony rides, food trucks, and more.
Hosted by Beth Jacob, the parade features decorated festive floats and costumed revelers marching down the middle of SR 236 singing and dancing to the music, handing out treats and prizes, and waving signs and banners. And never miss the best stories and events! subscribe now
