Tens of thousands of people gathered along the Atlanta BeltLine on Sept. 10 to celebrate the 2016 BeltLine Lantern Parade. The event was founded by Chantelle Rytter and Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons in 2010 and has become a much-anticipated annual tradition. Colorful lanterns were carried along the Eastside Trail from Irwin Avenue to Piedmont Park. The crowds continue to grow every year.
