Since 1989, the Peach Drop has been Atlanta’s way to celebrate the New Year. Tens of thousands of people gather around to watch a huge peach slowly drop at the stroke of midnight.
Is the Peach dropping this year?
The Peach Drop at Underground Atlanta has been canceled for the third year in a row. “In consultation with public health officials, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the Peach Drop,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a statement Tuesday.
