The Lyndon House Arts Center and ATHICA (Athens Institute of Contemporary Art) have partnered to host the 2019 Lantern Parade, an evening walk between the two locations on Thursday November 1st beginning at 7:00 PM. Please note: weather permitting, rain date is November 3.

The parade route begins at the Lyndon House Arts Center at 211 Hoyt Street ending at ATHICA. The route will go west down Hoyt Street, past the Athens Community Council on Aging and up the Pulaski Heights Trail for just over half a mile.

We welcome special guests to get the parade started! Tonallí Danza Folklórica Mexicana will share Day of the Dead celebratory dance at the Lyndon House Arts Center and at the end of the parade at ATHICA. Thanks to our partner Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute at the University of Georgia.

All are invited to bring lanterns and flashlights and join the fun. Lanterns must be powered by battery, solar, or other flameless light sources. No fire-based, flame lanterns. Please leave pets, motorized vehicles and bicycles at home.
