As December ends, Atlanta prepares for New Year's Eve celebrations, with the Atlanta Peach Drop as a central event. Since 1989, the tradition has featured an eight-foot tall, 800-pound peach sculpture, as reported by FOX5 Atlanta.
Revelers can start gathering for the Peach Drop at Underground Atlanta at 6 p.m. on Tuesday next week, with the countdown beginning at 11:59 p.m. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta also offers other activities, such as the New Year's Eve Celebration at the Georgia Aquarium with DJ music and a '90s-themed party at Politan Row, where flannels and scrunchies are encouraged.
Families can visit the Children’s Museum of Atlanta's Bubble Bash for a kid-friendly countdown to 2025 at various times throughout the day. Early risers can celebrate at Ponce City Market's roof, where a noon countdown will include mini golf and boardwalk games. These events offer options for both parents and children to enjoy celebrations before midnight.
For those seeking musical entertainment, the Ansley Stewart Band will perform at From the Earth Brewing Company in Roswell. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will also host a concert, followed by an after-party. For a nostalgic experience, the Red Phone Booth Speakeasy will offer a 1920s-themed evening with a dessert bar and a special New Year's Eve menu.
Atlanta offers a variety of New Year's Eve celebrations, from live music and aquatic experiences to the iconic Peach Drop.
