L5P Halloween Festival & Parade 2012

It’s time for the Little 5 Points Halloween Festival & Parade.  This year the event is celebrating it’s 12th Anniversary.  This is always a fun event and open to all ages and the public.  It’s a great time to enjoy watching 0r wearing a costume while enjoying some great Little 5 Points fun and music.  There will be funky arts for sale along with the regular retailers open for business.  There will be food and drink aplenty with local restaurants along with some street vendors offering up their savory selections.  If music is your pleasure – you will be rewarded with multiple options throughout the day.

The Parade starts at 4pm and lasts about 2 hours.  There are decorated floats and marching bands and about anything else you can imagine in the ghoul realm along with  a few things you probably never  imagined.  The parade is perfect for all ages and offers a little something for everyone.  Beware of the candy thrown your way and the odd brussel sprout handed out for good trickery (thank you, Dad’s Garage!).

Located in Inman Park, Atlanta, Little 5 Points has limited parking and  the best advice for travel to the event is MARTA or bike the belt line.
