It’s time for round two as we 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 ATLANTA BELTLINE Marketplace, 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.
