In honor of National Dance Day and Uptown Atlanta's screening of Dirty Dancing, we invite you to make an ensemble of Patrick Swayze lantern puppets with us! One Patrick Swayze puppet is funny. 50 Patrick Swayze puppets is going to be hilarious! All lantern puppets are welcome, of course. The Krewe's giant lantern parade puppets are coming!*
Uptown Atlanta is the mixed-use destination surrounding the Lindbergh Center MARTA Station. The Lawn at Uptown is situated in front of Pike Nursery, and accessible via MARTA and walking and bike paths. Parking is also available in the Garson Deck located next to The Lawn and validation will be provided to all event attendees.

Crazy for Swayze Lantern Puppet Workshop with the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons. The Patrick Puppet is fun for one, two, or three people to operate. The making of the puppet is best for ages 10 and up, but all ages would enjoy playing with him! Kids must be accompanied by adults at all times. We are going to spread out and sit on the lawn to make them. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and/or chairs for the workshop and movie.
The workshop is $15 while supplies last.
