COLBERT TO CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH A PARADE ON SATURDAY JULY 3RD Theme: “Brought to You by the Red White and Blue” Colbert will celebrate Independence Day with a parade only. Colbert celebrated its first of fifty Independence Day celebrations in 1969, when it began with a small group of citizens planning a barbeque. Over the years, the parade grew and other activities were added and it has become one of the largest Independence Day Celebrations in northeast Georgia. 2020 brought many changes and all activities were cancelled due to COVID19, but with great anticipation of continuing this year, the leaders of the clubs, together with Mayor Peck and the Council, decided to have a parade only. The parade will begin at 9:00 at the Colbert Municipal Building (located at the old Colbert Elementary School).
