Decatur Lantern ‘Parade-In-Place’ Lights Up The Town While Maintaining Social Distance

Chantelle Rytter believes that we have a common calling to “de-light” one another.

In 2010, she created the Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade, which has attracted over 70,000 spectators and participants. She joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to discuss this weekend’s “Decatur Lantern Parade-in-Place.”

Participants are asked to create lanterns from the kits sold at Kelly’s Market or to make their own at home. Then, use those lanterns to decorate the front door, porch, or yard. A tutorial on how to make a lantern can be found online.
