Round up your children and head over to the Decatur Library on Thursday, July 16 to hear “Recess Monkey”, a show for children of all ages. “Recess Monkey” weaves puns, jokes, stories and shenanigans into their kid-inspired songs. No play on words is too much of a stretch, and no rhyme schemes are out of bounds for their genre- bending set of catchy, singable and dance-able ditties that NPR called “inventive, brilliant, multilayered” and Cookie magazine called “fast paced and goofy.” The band is exceptional because the band actually has children help compose, record, and design their CDs.
The City of Decatur will be closed on Friday, July 3rd in observance of the Independence Day Holiday. Join us on the Old Courthouse Square for the Pied Piper Parade, Callanwolde Concert Band and the Fireworks on Saturday, July 4th. The parade begins at 6pm, the concert at 7 pm and the fireworks at dark.
