Lantern Parade: Take It to the River

TBA

The Lantern Parade is an evening filled with fantastical puppets and glowing lanterns! Families bring handcrafted lanterns, celebrate as the sun sets, then parade together down to Morgan Falls Overlook Park, right next to the Chattahoochee River!

This event is brought to you by the City of Sandy Springs, Sandy Springs Parks & Recreation Department, Murphs Surf Shop, Steel Canyon Golf Club, and the National Park Service: Chattahoochee River National Recreational Area.
