The Rome Christmas Parade is an annual parade that is held in Rome, Georgia. The procession lines up down Glenn Milner Boulevard onto East First Avenue and begins at Broad St and E1st Ave, and ends on Broad Street at 6th Avenue, in front of City Hall. Thousands of Georgians come to the parade yearly to see the parade participants such as: local high school bands, vintage automobiles, church and club floats pulled by tractors, law enforcement and rescue vehicles and Santa Claus. The Rome Christmas Parade has been a tradition in Rome for many decades. Rome's Christmas parade is the oldest and largest Christmas parade in Georgia dating from 1950. This Christmas celebration is a non-commercial and non-profit event organized by local citizens. Hundreds of participants enter the parade each year: some walking groups waving to onlookers, others riding on floats, beauty pageant winners atop convertible cars, and even emergency vehicles driven by local law enforcement and rescue personnel. The floats are required to be decorated to match the parade's theme for that year, selected by a group of local citizens. There are a few rules that govern the parade such as: horses having to wear diapers and no candy being thrown out to the crowd. Santa Claus is always on the last float in the parade. The 2018 Christmas parade theme was "The King is Born". The parade was moved in 2020 to Braves Blvd where the entries remained stable and the viewers drove by to view them. This was the only time the parade was moved and it was due to Covid.

The Etowah River is a 164-mile-long (264 km) waterway that rises northwest of Dahlonega, Georgia, north of Atlanta. On Matthew Carey's 1795 map the river was labeled "High Town River". On later maps, such as the 1839 Cass County map (Cass being the original name for Bartow County), it was referred to as "Hightower River", a name that was used in most early Cherokee records. The large Amicalola Creek (which flows over Amicalola Falls) is a primary tributary near the beginning of the river. The Etowah then flows west-southwest through Canton, Georgia, and soon forms Lake Allatoona. From the dam at the lake, it passes Cartersville and the Etowah Indian Mounds archaeological site. It then flows to Rome, Georgia, where it meets the Oostanaula River and forms the Coosa River at their confluence. The river is the northernmost portion of the Etowah-Coosa-Alabama-Mobile Waterway, stretching from the mountains of north Georgia to Mobile Bay in Alabama. The Little River is the largest tributary of the Etowah, their confluence now flooded by Lake Allatoona. Allatoona Creek is another major tributary, flowing north from Cobb County and forming the other major arm of the lake. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names officially named the river in 1897. The river ends at 571 feet (174 m) above mean sea level. The river is home to the Cherokee darter and Etowah darter, which are listed on the Endangered Species List. Country singer-songwriter Jerry Reed made the Etowah the home of the wild, misunderstood swamp dweller Ko-Ko Joe in the 1971 song "Ko-Ko Joe". The fictional character, who is reviled by respectable people but apparently dies a hero while saving a child's life, is alternately known as the "Etowah River Swamp Rat" in the song. Reed, a native of Atlanta, took some liberties with Georgia geography in the song, including the non-existent "Appaloosa County" and "Ko-Ko Ridge" as part of the song narrative’s setting.

The Oostanaula River (pronounced "oo-stuh-NA-luh") is a principal tributary of the Coosa River, about 49 miles (79 km) long, formed by the confluence of the Conasauga and Coosawattee in northwestern Georgia in the United States. Via the Coosa and Alabama rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mobile River, which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.
