ATLANTA — Atlanta’s annual BeltLine Lantern Parade returns Saturday for its 14th year.

“The beloved annual tradition will lead giant puppets, marching bands and other Atlantans in a one-mile parade along the BeltLine’s Westside Trail,” a spokesperson said in a statement from press.

In addition to all the creative lanterns, this year’s parade will also feature five marching bands.

The parade route begins at Adair Park, located at 742 Catherine St SW, and will end at Lee + White, located at 1070 White St SW.

“In 2023, the parade attracted approximately 15,000 participants and spectators,” BeltLine representatives said.

Programming begins at 7:45 p.m. Saturday and the parade starts an hour later. The parade will end with an “All-band Puppet Jam” once it arrives at Lee + White.

The Lantern Parade is one of the Atlanta BeltLine’s oldest events. It started in 2010 with a few hundred people and continues to grow to include tens of thousands of lantern enthusiasts.
