MARTA to the Peach Drop

The Peach Drop is Atlanta’s New Years Eve event that takes place just outside Underground Atlanta. Activities and live music take place much of New Years Eve day, and at night, a large peach drops in countdown to the new year.

The Five Points Station is right next to the Peach Drop and Underground Atlanta. All trains stop at Five Points, making it an easy destination. The Peachtree Street exit out of the station will be closed Dec. 31, but there will be clear directions to other other exits. If you exit on Alabama Street, turn left on Alabama Street. Or take the Broad Street plaza exit out of the station near the ride store, walk through the plaza and turn right on Marietta Street.

For those who wish to avoid some foot traffic, you can also exit at the Peachtree Center Station (follow the signs to the Ellis Street exit off the train platform) and walk a few blocks south on Peachtree Street to reach the Peach Drop. The Georgia State Station is also in walking distance, though a little further. If you exit at Georgia State, take the Piedmont Avenue exit out of the station and turn right. At Decatur Street, turn left and walk about three blocks (see area map).

MARTA trains will have extended service on New Years Eve. The last trains in all directions will depart Five Points at 2 a.m.
