YOU HELPED MAKE THIS MILESTONE POSSIBLE - LET'S CELEBRATE TOGETHER!
BRN is gathering a few neighbors from across the city to walk in the Inman Park Parade. We're celebrating Atlanta's progress. And because we know how important reliable transit options are to you, we hope you'll join us.
Thanks to persistent, widespread community support, BeltLine rail is finally coming to life. MARTA expects to have the first 1.4 mi in operation by 2028. An additional 14.6 mi of BeltLine rail already in the More MARTA expansion plan requires additional funding before breaking ground. But we're optimistic. Eventually, the BeltLine's parallel rail & trail network is expected to connect 45 Atlanta neighborhoods to each other and a variety of services & recreation. At the same time, it will help reduce our dependence on cars and improve a range of opportunities, affordable housing & air quality.
Can we count on you to bring some FUN?
Here are more details about the parade:
The 51st Inman Park Festival Parade will make its annual roll through the streets of Inman Park at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 29, 2023. 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 2 pm; however, all Parade units must report to the staging area between Krog and Spruce by 1:00 pm for Line-Up.
