Hundreds of Atlantans gathered Sunday afternoon in a crowd of glitter face makeup, colorful wigs and streamers at Piedmont Park to celebrate the life of the “Starman” himself, David Bowie.

Bowie, who died Jan. 10, was known to many as a genre-breaking musician, a one-of-a-kind artist and a style icon. In honor of the man who introduced rock and roll to Ziggy Stardust, the “Bowie on the BeltLine” parade marched the two miles to Old Fourth Ward in shiny tights, platform heels and strollers – belting out the chorus of “Changes” and “Suffragette City” along the way.

“I just hope that we may celebrate his life always,” organizer Jez De Wolff told the crowd as the event kicked off.

The crowd interrupted normal Sunday afternoon BeltLine traffic, as pedestrians and bikers stopped to take pictures. Some onlookers even tagged along.

The event ended with a candlelight ceremony and singalong at the Masquerade.
