Due to Atlanta streetcar line construction, Dragon Con will introduce a new route for its swarm-attracting parade, which begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31.
From a new staging spot on West Peachtree Place near West Peachtree Street, the parade will turn north (left) on Spring Street, east (right) on Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard, south (right) on Peachtree Street, east (left) on Andrew Young International Boulevard and north (left) on Peachtree Center Avenue. It will end on Peachtree Center Avenue between John Portman Boulevard and Baker Street, in front of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
Getting there: Traffic will be a mess for drivers all weekend, so the best advice is to take MARTA. Closest stations are Peachtree Center (N1) and Georgia State (E1)
