Callithumpian Festival

2007 Callithumpian - Near Ideal Conditions

It was a cold and dreary night on October 27th as the annual Callithumpian Parade wound its way through the streets of Decatur. Rain for much of the day had discouraged some parade goers, but a large crowd was in attendance. About 140 units including 10 bands, 11 floats, numerous political candidates and maskers braved the cold weather.
