See & Do - Party city December 27 2006

Holiday

With the Atlanta skyline as its backdrop, the annual (18 years now and counting) New Year’s Eve PEACH DROP has become the ATL’s trademark year-end celebration. On Sun., DEC. 31, the party people hit downtown for the 16-hour event, which includes a performance from country music up-and-comers Lonestar, fireworks and, of course, that conspicuous 800-pound lighted peach. About 175,000 people came last year, so should you find yourself posse-less the last day of the year, hop on MARTA and head to the Five Points Station. We’re sure they’ll be waiting for ya.

Free. Noon-4 a.m. Underground Atlanta, 50 Upper Alabama St. 404-523-2311. www.peachdrop.com.
