Inman Park is proud to present Atlanta’s quirkiest and most colorful parade led by the Inman Park butterfly and followed by marching bands, floats, art cars, drill teams, mascots, clowns, jugglers, politicians and much, much more.
The AJC considers the parade one of 10 Things Every Atlanta Resident Should Do:
Take in a parade with personality. (Intown Atlanta) Inman Park Spring Festival’s parade is a people watching paradise. Colorful costumes, creative themes, and the Seed & Feed Marching Abominable invite spring with sass and funk.

About Our Grand Marshal
Artist R. Land is the 2026 Festival Parade Grand Marshal in
celebration of his 30+ years in Atlanta. When Ronnie’s lease
was up at his former Grant Park studio, he
found a “funky raw space at the edge of
the [Inman Park] neighborhood” off
Edgewood Avenue.
“Since I moved to Atlanta in 1993, I
always loved Inman Park. . . .
Even when I visited in the early
80s, I was captivated by the
eclectic assortment of
residents, the charm of tree-
lined streets, the historic
homes and just the overall
urban Mayberry vibe. . . . It felt
like the center of the ATL universe to
me.” Still in that studio 26 years later, Ronnie says, “It feels
more like home than any other place I’ve ever had!”
Back in the day, Ronnie would go out in the middle of the night,
wheat paste in hand, anonymously posting Pray for ATL, the
image of a pair of reverently folded hands signed “R.L.
Ministries.” “It’s that simple, really . . . having the art be the
quickest way to communicate something to the community I
live in.” His heartfelt message took on a life of its own. He went
viral before viral was a thing. Pray for ATL became an identifier
for the city.
A guy he met in Savannah said, “That ATL thing, it’s like the
‘I ♥ NY’ of the South.” R. Land’s art is in the Atlanta History
Center, the Georgia State Capitol, and across the universe.
