For individuals/couples/a group
A classic. This has been around since 1989 where you can celebrate the change into a new year by watching the big Georgia peach drop as you countdown! This doesn’t cost you anything either.
Event time: 6:00 p.m. – midnight
This event is held at the Georgia Aquarium. Who doesn’t love bringing in the new year in one of Atlanta’s favorites! This is after hour event so no kids there. The dress code is a black-and-white cocktail. In addition, it is an event that will help fundraise for research and conservation programs. So sip and help save! Join them as you toast along with all the whale sharks, jellyfish, and others.
Event time: 8:30 p.m. – 1:00 a.m.
