One of Atlanta’s most beloved, illuminated annual traditions was reimagined in September 2020! Created and hosted by Chantelle Rytter and the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons, the lantern parade expanded from a one-night in-person procession to a week-long virtual celebration, culminating in pop-up, socially-distanced parades in several Atlanta Beltline neighborhoods. Residents were invited to show off their festive lantern displays on social media by posting a photo of their lantern-decorated home or yard with #BeltlineParadeInPlace as a unique way to spread joy across the city, celebrate creativity, and build community on a granular level while keeping Atlanta safe.
