The Decatur Celebration features a variety of fun activities, including stunt shows, science exhibitions, hot dog eating contests, aerial demonstrations, and the carnival. Several stages are set up throughout downtown Decatur that feature a wide range of music, from local bands and musicians to ones that have hit the Billboard charts.
