We’ve got some great news, Atlanta! Mayor André Dickens has officially announced that the Peach Drop is back, baby!
According to 11Alive News, Dickens said,
It is my pleasure to bring this beloved tradition back to the heart of Downtown Atlanta during its truly historic and transformative renaissance… This event is a fun and exciting way for residents and visitors alike to ring in 2025 like only we can in the ATL.
What is the Peach Drop?
The Peach Drop is an Atlanta tradition in which the city drops a massive, 800 lbs peach from a nearly 140 foot tower in Underground Atlanta! This tradition stretches back decades, and has been sorely missed for the past several years due to COVID and funding issues.

Do they use a real peach for the Peach Drop?
No, the peach, weighing in around 800 pounds, is traditionally made of foam and fiberglass, and decorated to look like a peach!
What can Peach Drop attendees expect?
Along with the event of the night, the Peach Drop, there’s also tons of fun to be had at the event! Before the clock strikes midnight, you can enjoy performances by Neon Trees, RES and local artists, with headlining act, rapper and songwriter Big Boi! And the entire event is emceed by none other than the voice of Atlanta: Ryan Cameron!

Okay, I’ve gotta be there! What’re the details?
