The Great Halloween Lantern Parade and Festival, presented by Creative Alliance and The Friends of Patterson Park, began as a small beautiful community event in Patterson Park, with artists and neighbors came together to bring creativity and light into a dark park.
25 years later, the event has grown and blossomed into a must see festival and parade that encompasses beautiful glowing handmade lanterns, community bands and school groups, cultural demonstrations from around the world, and a Bmore Club dance party finale!
Anyone is welcome to make a lantern and walk in the parade, and the Creative Alliance even offers lantern making workshops for all ages and skill levels!
