Atlanta Debuts Citywide ‘Countdown Over ATL’ Tonight With Drone Peach and Synchronized Fireworks

City leaders call the decentralized show a safer, more accessible way to create a shared midnight moment.

Overview

  • A digital drone peach will light the sky starting at 11:45 p.m., with coordinated fireworks at midnight lasting roughly 12 minutes.
  • The drone display is most visible in Downtown and Midtown, with an additional northwest-side show, while fireworks are planned to be seen across neighborhoods.
  • The city published recommended rooftops and neighborhood spots for clear views and urges those with obstructed sightlines to seek elevated vantage points.
  • Officials say licensed professionals manage the displays, and residents should avoid calling 911 about fireworks unless there is an emergency and use ATL 311 for general questions.
  • Guidance urges securing pets, using ID tags or microchips, and considering ear protection or quiet indoor spaces for those with sensory sensitivities.
