The Great Halloween Lantern Parade & Festival begins in the afternoon with a family festival, featuring an adorable kids costume contest, lantern-making, pop-up performances, an arts & crafts market, and more. Grab a picnic blanket for your family and friends and enjoy an array of food and treats from local food trucks.

Once the sun sets, the magic begins. We illuminate Patterson Park and parade through the night surrounded by bright and beautiful music. Everyone is welcome to grab a lantern and march with thousands of neighbors, artists, musicians, and performers. Many more line the parade route to watch the delightful Great Halloween Lantern Parade wind through the night!!
