Peach drop 2025 refers to the annual New Year’s Eve celebration held in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The highlight of the event is the symbolic dropping of a giant peach at midnight, signaling the start of the new year. The peach has become an iconic symbol of Atlanta, and the event draws large crowds of revelers each year.
The peach drop tradition began in 1989. The first peach was made of papier-mch and weighed 800 pounds. Over the years, the peach has undergone several redesigns and now weighs over 8,000 pounds and is made of fiberglass and LED lights. The peach is dropped from a height of 138 feet atop the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel.
