Westside Beltline Lantern Parade
Join Atlanta Freedom Bands for the Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade
The Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade is set to light up the Westside trail with a dazzling procession of illuminated creatures and people on September 19. Atlanta Freedom Bands is one of the parade’s Cultural Partners, leading a block of the parade! Come see our Marching Band and Color Guard as they light up the night with great music!
The parade rolls through the Adair Park neighborhood before taking to the Westside Beltline. The parade ends with a giant party the Lee+White Food Hall with music, food trucks, and a collection of all the illuminations. The evening is always quite a spectacle and quite a bit of fun!
The parade steps off at 8 PM from Beulah Colbert Park (formerly Adair Park II) and usually ends by around 9:30 at the Lee+White Food Hall. (See map below)
