Join Atlanta’s quirkiest parade!
Deadline: Saturday, April 13 11:59pm
The 53rd Inman Park Festival Parade will make its annual roll through the streets of Inman Park at 2:00pm on Saturday April 26. 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 many, many more.
Parade Route, Line-up, Rain or Shine!
The Parade takes place rain or shine. The Parade route begins on Edgewood Avenue at Spruce Street, goes down Edgewood to Hurt Street, turns left on Hurt Street to Euclid Avenue, and turns right on Euclid Avenue to Austin Avenue where it disbands at the traffic light in front of Little 5 Points Community Center. The Parade route length is one (1) mile. The Parade steps off promptly at 2pm; however, all Parade entries must report to the Line-Up staging area on Edgewood between Krog and Spruce no later than 1:00 pm.
