Enjoy food and stage performances highlighting Gwinnett's rich cultural diversity!
For the past seven years, the Atlanta International Night Market has woven arts, education, and cuisine into one amazing event that both enriches and displays the vibrant multiculturalism that is our community.
SATURDAY APR. 23 | 2-10P
Atlanta International Night Market and Illuminate Georgia return, along with a favorite community tradition: the Glow in the Park lantern parade and a concert featuring Tony Howard’s Motown Revue! So, who gets to be in the parade? You do! This electrical spectacle is family- and pet-friendly, so everyone can join in as we make our beloved park glow in the dark!
This event is a community celebration of creativity; everyone is strongly encouraged to create illuminated costumes and carry their pre-made lanterns to parade together!
The first thing you’ll need to be a part of the lantern parade? A lantern of course! The Internet is full of how-tos and ideas, and GeekSpace Gwinnett and the Suwanee Arts Center are hosting lantern building workshops leading up to the event.
Can’t make it to a class? The Suwanee Arts Center is selling grab-and-go lantern kits!
Shedding a little light on
your burning questions.
Yes, you do. That’s kinda what we mean by “lantern parade”….
A simple, decorated, orb-on-a-stick lit with battery-operated LEDs (no live flames permitted!). The lanterns are carried, not released.
Make one! GeekSpace Gwinnett and the Suwanee Arts Center are hosting lantern building workshops leading up to the event. Pinterest if full of ideas, and you can purchase pre-made lanterns online. The Suwanee Arts Center is also selling grab-and-go kits.
No. They are not permitted and they set fires as they fall back to earth as flaming litter.
Dogs, kids, strollers, and wagons are all welcome in the parade (lit or otherwise) (lit would be way cooler though).
Completely free – concert included!
No registration or sign up necessary – just show and glow!
