10 Things to Do in Atlanta for New Year's
Not ready for Christmas to end quite yet? Hold onto your holiday cheer at the
World of Coca-Cola, where the festivities are still in full swing. New Year's weekend is your last chance to experience the attraction's holiday celebration that features special seasonal exhibits, larger-than-life decorations and samples of limited-time Gingerbread Coke® and Chocolate Cherry Coke®. You can get a sneak peek of the attraction-turned-winter-wonderland
here.
Ring in the New Year in style at Ponce City Market's "Roaring Rooftop Bash." This extravagant black tie event will feature unlimited bubbly, unbeatable skyline views and not one but twodancefloors. Guests will also enjoy performances by aerialists, burlesque dancers, acrobats and more.
If you're visiting for the big game, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Fan Night at the Georgia Aquariumis an event just for you. From 4 - 8 p.m. on Dec. 30, guests can experience all that the aquarium has to offer at a discounted rate of $26.95 per person. Each team's cheerleaders and mascots will also be in attendance, and a band pep rally is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to arrive early.
The Children's Museum of Atlanta will host its New Year's Bubble Bash twice this year with countdowns at noon and 4 p.m. on Dec. 31. This New Year's party for kids will include bubble-wrap fireworks, a dance party and some new surprises. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets early for this popular event.
Whether you're rolling with the Tide or howling for the Huskies, you can cheer on your team at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Parade, which is considered the official kickoff for game day. This football-festive event will begin at the corner of Baker and Peachtree Street and end at FanFest in the Georgia World Congress Center. At night, don't miss the 13th Annual Downtown Countdown and Official New Year's Eve Party of the 2016 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Attendees can root for their team and kick off the New Year all in one place at this all-inclusive event. Find more information and purchase tickets here.
