Founders Day is the annual celebration of Johns Creek's official incorporation on Dec. 1, 2006. The city observes the anniversary on the first Saturday in December – Dec. 5 this year – culminating a weeklong series of events.
The celebration unites our young city, providing a point of pride in remembering the efforts of all those who worked so hard to make incorporation a reality and celebrating Johns Creek's continuing progress. It's a fun-filled, family-oriented way to kick off the holiday season. We invite you to join the party!
