Constitution Day Festival of Georgia Prepares to Celebrate

with First Birthday Celebration of America In State History

ATLANTA – Americans for Prosperity Foundation and a coalition of organizations will work to

host the first ever Constitution Day Festival of Georgia on Friday, September 17th from 5-10PMat Glover Pavilion on the Historic Marietta Square. The festival seeks to educate citizens about

the document and the articles and amendments that form our Constitutional Republic in a fun,

interactive way that brings the entire community together. The family festival will feature live

music, dramatic performances from local student civics projects, Founding Father re-enactments,

Constitutional speakers and more. Community leaders from government, religion, media, service

organizations, law enforcement, education and business will assist in this promotion.

The festival comes in response to a series of State Resolutions passed by the Georgia General

Assembly dating back to 1996 with SR 529 where the General Assembly unanimously adopts a

“plan to defeat civic illiteracy” and calls on all citizens in Georgia and the nation to use“Republic Teamwork Principles” to encourage community as a part of “Our Republic Walk”.

The festival in Marietta is the work of one coalition and one community’s response to the

directive of the Georgia General Assembly Resolutions to join in the promotion of Our Republic

Walk.
