WISE COUNTY - GET READY TO CELEBRATE AMERICA’S 250TH

We’re bringing our communities together for one BIG America 250 County Wide Celebration on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in Downtown Decatur!

There are two great ways to be part of the celebration!

PATRIOTIC PARADE | 6:00 PM

We’re kicking off the evening with a patriotic parade through Downtown Decatur! Floats, vehicles, walking groups, bands, businesses, organizations, churches, clubs, families, and more are welcome to participate.
