Itinerary:

It's Labor Day weekend, which means our city will be swarmed with a bunch of loveable cos-play freaks and geeks celebrating Dragon*Con. During the 5 day event, a parade will be marching along Peachtree Street on Saturday morning.

Wanna join me for this spectacle? We will not be marching in the parade, however, we WILL be doing a bit of marching ourselves, AOC-style :)

WHAT WE'LL DO:
Park and meet at the Carter Center. After intros we will walk to Peachtree Center. Once there, hopefully, we can find a good spot to view the parade.

Parking at the Carter Center is plentiful and FREE. Please arrive early to find your spot, the group and for intros. We leave promptly at 9:00.

The parade starts at 10:00 and lasts for about 90 mins. Our hike will be about 4.5 miles (round trip). That said, please be flexible with the timing since we never know how long the parade takes, or if we encounter too many red lights on our walk.

Required Items to Bring:

Comfortable walking shoes

Water
