Calendar of Events
No matter what the season, there is always something going on in the City of Decatur. Keeping our residents informed of scheduled events and local happenings is important.
Do you have an upcoming event that you would like to add to our calendar? If so, send us an email and we will be happy to add it. When emailing us be sure to include who is hosting the event, where the event is happening (name and address of location), days and time of the event, and a little detail as to what the event is all about.
We do not do ads for yardsales or garage sales. However, we will advertise the Pickin' Time on 59, which is an event that is for the corridor of Highwy 59. We also do not advertise fund raising events unless it is open to the community and is hosted by an organization or non-profit.
