Where the Weird Things Are

Where the Weird Things Are is a magical night dedicated to conjuring the mystical creatures who live in the wild places of our imaginations and along the Atlanta Beltline to caper and dance and speak their tales!

Unlike a typical parade, this "upside down parade" hosted by Chantelle Rytter and the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons will be stationary. We invite you to stroll around the pond and through the parade — or create your own Weird Thing and join the upside down parade with us. Attendees are also welcome to pack a picnic and have a seat at the amphitheater to catch the entire experience.
