Spooky season is upon us, and Atlanta’s very own Little 5 Points Halloween Festival & Parade has earned a coveted spot on Trips To Discover’s “Best Halloween Events in the US,” list. Fear not, for we have all the ghoulish details to share with you.

Make sure to mark your calendars for the chilling weekend of Oct. 21 and 22, from 11 a.m. till the eerie darkness takes over, promising two days of bone-chilling fun and thrills. Nestled within the vibrant and eclectic neighborhood of L5P in Atlanta, this Halloween extravaganza guarantees an eerie escape into a world of thrilling festivities.

While the iconic L5P Halloween Parade steals the spotlight each year (scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 22 at 2 p.m.), the festival offers many other activities to elevate the excitement. Immerse yourself in its bewitching charm with an artist market, partake in historical and haunted ghost tours, explore the hair-raising 3D Haunted House hosted at the L5P Community Center, enjoy a lineup of live music, and support local and diverse businesses around the area.

Little 5 Points Halloween Festival & Parade is more than just an event; it’s an immersive experience that encapsulates the very essence of Halloween. It’s a celebration of creativity, community, and all things eerie. So, gather your friends and family, get creative with your costume, and join the spirited spectacle that has been dubbed one of the nation’s finest Halloween celebrations.

Pro Tip: Parking is minimal, close to none during this event. The festival strongly recommends taking MARTA (Inman Park and Candler Park Stations are a short walk to L5P) or using Lyft or Uber.
