The Great Halloween Lantern Parade is celebrating 20 years of incredible community art! We hope you'll join us to make this the greatest parade yet! Here's how you can get involved, volunteer, sponsor, and/or create with us.

Creative Alliance’s highly anticipated annual Art To Dine For season presents an insider’s view of Baltimore’s fascinating and diverse arts community! 

The 2019 season features an inspiring variety of distinctive parties in intriguing locations with fabulous art, luscious fare, spirited cocktails, and lively conversation. Art To Dine For supports Creative Alliance’s free education and community programs for children, youth, and families.

Drawing over 10,000 fans, the Great Halloween Lantern Parade & Festival has been a beloved Baltimore tradition since 1999. The parade is a community-made, artist commissioned, spectacular evening held outdoors in Patterson Park on the last Saturday before Halloween (Oct 26^th, rain date Oct 27th). Working with our neighboring schools and community groups, Creative Alliance helps produce 2,000+ lanterns that people of all ages can carry in the Parade to create an evening of light-filled wonder. We are asking Baltimore-based artists and community groups to create NEW, BIG, BRIGHT, FUN, MOBILE objects!

Are you an artist? Musician? Comedian? Dancer? Juggler? This is your chance to be in THE BIG SHOW!

Our 24th annual members' extravaganza is on Saturday, June 22nd and we want you to participate! Don't miss the opportunity to have your artwork on the walls of our main gallery or your fabulous talents showcased on our stage! Who knows... maybe you're the next BIG thing!
