Light up the night at one of Atlanta’s most beloved traditions! The Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade returns to the Southwest Trail with an expanded route filled with glowing lanterns, larger-than-life illuminated puppets, live marching bands, local vendors, and thousands of Atlantans coming together for an evening of creativity and community.
The parade lineup begins at 7:15 PM at Beulah Colbert Park (formerly Adair Park II), with the parade stepping off at 8:00 PM. The procession travels through the neighborhood and onto the Southwest Trail before ending at Lee + White, where the celebration continues with the final All-Band Puppet Jam.
