About the parade:
Everyone is invited to create glowing or illuminated costumes and bring their pre-made, battery-powered lanterns to light up the streets during the 1-mile community parade surrounding Town Center Park.
This electrical spectacle is family and pet-friendly, so bring your loved ones (furry friends included) for a night full of fun!
NO live flames!

Need a lantern?
Don’t yet have a lantern? You have options. A simple design only requires a paper globe, like the kind you find at Pier One or Party City, and some sort of battery-operated LED lights (no flames, please!) You may want to attach the lantern to a dowel or stick, to make it easy to carry.
There are lantern ideas all over Pinterest.
Instructables.com has simple instructions.
And there are how-to videos on YouTube (we’ve embedded one below, to get you started).
Or sign up for a $30 workshop here.
Workshops will be held at the Suwanee Arts Center, located at 3930 Charleston Market St.
Are you really crunched for time? Get a string of battery-operated LED party lights to drape around yourself. You can find them on Amazon and at party stores.
