Little 5 Points goes full-on spooky, strange, and spectacular. On October 18–19, the city’s most offbeat neighborhood transforms into a playground of costumes, music, and mayhem for the Little 5 Points Halloween Festival & Parade.
The parade takes over Sunday at noon (Oct. 19)—a wild procession of creatures, costumes, and chaos that’s been named one of the Top 10 Halloween Parades in the Nation.
But that’s just the beginning. Expect:
- Live bands
- Wrestlers in the ring
- The Monster Sticker Hunt
- Artist vendors & makers
- Street performers & buskers
- …and plenty of spooky surprises.
Come weird, come wild, come as you are—because nothing’s scarier than missing it.
When: October 18–19, 2025, noon to 7pm
Parade: Sunday, October 19, at Noon
Where: Little 5 Points, Atlanta, GA
