The annual tradition known as the Peach Drop won’t be happening this year, Atlanta officials said on Friday.
The City of Atlanta cited that its exhibition budget sort of went to the hip-hop celebration in put on earlier in the fall to coincide with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
“This year, the City dedicated our resources to celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and other local activities directly serving the community. While a worthy tradition in the past, the Peach Drop has not been an annual event since 2017. Each year is different, and we can always reevaluate next year,” a city of Atlanta spokesperson said in a statement.
The cancellation of the New Year’s Eve event means Atlanta residents and visitors will need to find another way to bring in the new year.
