There’s no Peach Drop at Underground Atlanta this year, but Mayor Andre Dickens announced that the city will be hosting a creative new approach to celebrating New Year’s Eve.
This year, the city will host citywide fireworks with a special drone countdown display, which will be visible in Downtown and Midtown.
“The annual Peach Drop has been a big part of our city’s New Year’s Eve since 1989, bringing people together in a way only Atlanta can. However, this New Year’s Eve, we are reimagining that tradition with Countdown Over ATL,” Dickens said in a statement. “We cannot wait for residents and visitors to experience several fireworks displays that will light up the night across Atlanta. All you have to do is step outside, hit your neighborhood spot, meet on a rooftop or watch from your backyard, and you’ll be part of one special shared moment. Atlanta is a city of opportunity for all, and this year we are going to meet you where you are.”
This unique celebration will include a 12-minute New Year’s Eve activation that is “a modern, inclusive, and a citywide celebration,” the statement read.
Drones will form a giant peach in the sky, which will be visible from Downtown and Midtown, followed by fireworks from multiple sites.
“By decentralizing Downtown crowds, increasing visibility across the city and strengthening public safety operations, this citywide display delivers a unified New Year’s experience for all Atlantans,” the statement continued.
If you have an obstructed view by trees, through coordination with local businesses, the city will have a list of rooftops available in the coming days at atlantaga.gov.
