ATLANTA - Grab your paper lanterns and partake in the illumination of the BeltLine this weekend at The Atlanta BeltLine Lantern parade.
The Atlanta BeltLine will be lit for the annual parade on Saturday, Sept. 22 as tens of thousands of people walk on the eastside trail from Irwin Street north to Piedmont Park.
While you don’t need a lantern to watch the parade, you must have a lantern to walk the two miles. The parade is free and open to all with no registration needed!
