Peach Drop (Atlanta, Georgia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peach Drop is the name for the downtown Atlanta New Year's Eve celebration. It is so called because a giant replica of a peach is dropped in the style of a time ball. Some similarity to the Times Square (New York City) New Year's Eve ball drop is presumably intended. The peach tie in is presumably because of Atlanta's affinity for peaches (Georgia's nickname is "The Peach State," and Atlanta has a high proportion of streets and other geographical features named after peaches or peach parts as well as hosting the annual Peach Bowl.)
It is held each year on December 31 at Underground Atlanta.
