The 52nd Inman Park Festival Parade will make its annual roll through the streets of Inman Park at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 27, 2024. Inman Park is proud to present Atlanta’s quirkiest and most colorful parade led by the Inman Park butterfly and followed by marching bands, floats, art cars, drill teams, mascots, clowns, jugglers, politicians and many, many more. PARADE ROUTE, LINE-UP & RAIN OR SHINE!
The Parade takes place rain or shine.
