Festival Overview

The festival packs Atlanta’s eclectic Little Five Points neighborhood with parade floats, street spectacle, live music, food vendors, artists, and Halloween pageantry. Over the years, it has grown into one of the Southeast’s signature Halloween events while retaining the district’s offbeat, community-driven personality.

The parade remains the centerpiece, but the wider festival experience has also included artists markets, themed programming, neighborhood attractions, and live performances across Little Five Points.

Festival History

The Little Five Points Halloween Festival & Parade has long been one of the city’s defining fall events, drawing visitors from around Atlanta and beyond to one of the city’s most distinctive commercial districts. The event has built a reputation as both a major public celebration and a neighborhood fundraiser tied to the Little 5 Points Business Association.

Its popularity, eccentric energy, and strong local identity have helped make it one of the most recognizable annual events associated with Little Five Points.
