About The L5P

Halloween Festival & Parade

  • The Little 5 Points Halloween Festival & Parade is the biggest—and spookiest—Halloween celebration in the Southeast. With roots in parades during the 70’s, and music based events in the 90’s, the current iteration of Little Five’s signature event has been running strong since 2001—even surviving covid with an acclaimed digital event.

    Last year’s festival was the most successful and well attended L5P Halloween Festival ever with thousands of people swarming our unique business district!

    The festival returns this 2023 on October 21st and 22nd for a wicked two day event featuring the world famous Little 5 Points Halloween Parade on Sunday, a Monster Sticker Hunt on Saturday, a 3D haunted house by Silver Scream Spook Show creator Shane Morton, live music from Atlanta’s best underground acts, an art and vintage market, neighborhood ghost tours, a skate park, food and drink vendors, and so much more! 

  • The parade is on Sunday, October 22, at 2 pm.

    It will start at the top of Moreland Ave. at Austin Ave, crawl through Little Five down Moreland, and end near Freedom Parkway. Please find a place to watch as early as possible! There are plenty of open spaces up and down the road, especially closer to the beginning and end of the parade.

  • Silver Scream Spook Show’s Shane Morton presents a eye-popping 3D Haunted House for all ages! Explore the cracks and crevices of the L5P Community Center (at the corner of Austin and Euclid Ave) with special Chromadepth 3D glasses, and be sure to be spooked!

    Noon to 7pm, Saturday and Sunday, Admission is free but donations are recommended.

  • Scour the L5P district on SATURDAY ONLY (noon–6 pm) for marvelous monster stickers by local artists!

    How to hunt:

    • Purchase a sticker book from the L5P Business Association booth in the square. (You can also purchase official festival merch here!)

    • Using the map inside the sticker book, search out the stickers hidden around L5P. They will either be located inside a participating business, or at an artist booth.

    • Collect them all and post a photo or reel to Instagram tagging @l5phalloween and including #l5phalloweenstickerhunt in the caption.

  • In coordination with Big Trouble in L5P, the Halloween Festival will feature a skate ramp at the L5P Community Center (at the corner of Austin and Euclid Ave’s.) Bring your board or blades.

    Noon to 7pm, Saturday and Sunday.

  • BANDS TBA!

    On SATURDAY, music will be at the Seminole Ave turnaround facing Davis Plaza (next to Moonlight Pizza and Clothing Warehouse.)

  • For over one hundred years, Little Five Points (“L5P”) has remained Atlanta's funky hub for arts and culture. Known for its diverse and eclectic offerings, L5P is a destination for locals and visitors who seek out counter-culture whether it’s for people watching, shopping, dining, or enjoying the arts. With over 100 independent businesses, L5P is among the most diverse, vibrant, and eclectic communities in the world. As one of Atlanta’s first business districts outside of downtown, L5P began to accommodate suburbanites traveling to the city via the long-defunct streetcar line. Today L5P claims kinship to Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, New Orleans French Quarter, and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury. Known as the “bohemian center of the south,” Little 5 Points is a destination for locals and visitors who seek out counterculture, whether for people watching, shopping at unique and independent retailers, crate digging for both vintage and new records, dining at a burger joint or vegan eatery, live theater, live music, nightlife or the famous annual Halloween Festival and Parade.
