Decatur Lantern Parade

The Decatur Lantern Parade is a sight to see! A good wholesome, smaller town America parade where it seems like the whole county turns out to celebrate. It starts on W. Howard Ave and ends in the center of Decatur square! It starts later to wait for the night to set in but it’s well worth the wait. The creativity of the lanterns made by people of absolutely all ages! Since this is Unilocal,all of the square restaurants had their doors open and patios kicking. King of pops for sale at one of their carts, and the aroma of sushi, steak, burgers, coffee along with an awesome night of a parade and live music! Go have an amazing dinner somewhere in Decatur and make a night of it with the lantern parade! For those of you who know Decatur well, it’s truly a Decatur experience! If you don’t check the website frequently to go and make a lantern and walk in next year’s parade.
The only reason for four stars is that they don’t publish this even well enough! Get the word out on the event and the route!
