Tens of thousands of people attend the Dunwoody Fourth of July Parade each year, making it the largest Independence Day parade in Georgia.
Dunwoody 4th of July Parade marks 50 years honoring U.S. BY DYANA BAGBY dyana@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Fourth of July Parade marks its 50th anniversary this year with the Dunwoody Preservation Trust as grand marshals for what organizers say is the largest Independence Day parade in Georgia. This year’s theme, “Honoring the Past, Marching into the Future,” reflects the parade’s 50-year history and the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations. The parade, organized by the Dunwoody Homeowners Association, steps off at 9 a.m. July 4 at the intersection of Mount Vernon
Road and Jett Ferry Road. It will proceed west on Mount Vernon Road to Dunwoody Village, turn right onto Dunwoody Village Parkway, circle the parkway and continue into Dunwoody Village between First Watch and Citizens Bank. The 2.7-mile route takes about an hour to walk. Mount Vernon Road between Jett Ferry Road and Dunwoody Village will be closed from approximately 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Spectators are encouraged to set up chairs along Mount Vernon Road and around Dunwoody Village Parkway into Dunwoody Village.

The plan could further the vision Central Perimeter leaders have to transform the commercial hub from a commuter pass-through into a thriving live-work-play community. The Georgetown Company and RocaPoint Partners, developers of Campus 244, are seeking to build a 400,000-square-foot residential building, totaling 350 units, on the nearly 13-acre site near Perimeter

Mall and the Dunwoody MARTA station. The site already includes an office building, a hotel and two restaurants but is surrounded by parking lots — land that could be better utilized, the developers say. They are requesting the property be rezoned from office institutional to planned unit development district to allow for multifamily residential. “The rezoning is necessary to allow the applicant to respond to market demand and develop these under-utilized areas with economically viable uses, such as multifamily residential,” according to a rezoning application with the city.
