If you were worried that this year’s Atlanta BeltLine Lantern Parade would be cancelled, fear not! The event will take place, but with a few changes due to ongoing Coronavirus concerns. Beginning on September 21, residents throughout BeltLine-adjacent neighborhoods are encouraged to place homemade lanterns on their porches, balconies, and in yards and windows, to shine their lights for all to see!
Gatherings and parties are discouraged. Instead, participants are invited to show off their festive lantern displays on social media by posting photos tagged with #BeltLineParadeInPlace plus your residential block. The residences and neighborhoods that are the most “lit” might receive a surprise visit from the Krewe on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night, September 24-26! The Krewe of the Grateful Glutton’s giant lantern puppets and parade bands will make unannounced pop-up appearances in BeltLine neighborhoods between 8 and 10pm.
