Lights of the Albemarle Lantern Parade

On December 31st, AOA and Elizabeth City Downtown, Inc. invite you to flood the streets with light, as we march into the New Year together during our city’s inaugural lantern parade!

This free community event encourages community members and visitors of all ages to join the parade with their own lanterns—all shapes, sizes, and styles of lanterns are welcome. The festivities will begin at Pool St. Park (205 E Main St.) and encompasses a short parade route downtown (exact route to be announced soon), ending on the 600 block of East Colonial Ave., and culminating in a streetside celebration for all.

The Lights of the Albemarle Lantern Parade is made possible with support from artist Gowri Savoor’s A River of Light initiative, the Kate Dean Endowment for K-12 Arts, and the North Carolina Arts Council.
