Parade: Sunday, October 18 at 1 PM
Little 5 Points is going all in for Halloween. Two days of monsters, music, art,
performances, ghosts, creatures and more — all leading up to Atlanta’s wildest
Halloween tradition.
WHERE DO I PARK? One of the questions we hear most.
🚆🚲 SKIP THE PARKING NIGHTMARE!
Parking in Little 5 Points will be extremely limited during the Halloween Festival & Parade, and several streets will be closed.
Take MARTA, bike, walk, lyft, uber, or scoot your way to L5P!
🚆 MARTA: Inman Park/Reynoldstown Station is a short walk away.
🚲 BIKES & SCOOTERS: Check out the bike rack map on our website.
👟 WALK: If you're nearby, leave the car at home!
Spend your time enjoying Halloween, not searching for parking.
