Stone Mountain Park Kids’ Early New Year’s Eve Celebration - Stone Mountain Park, 1000 Robert E. Lee Blvd, Stone Mountain, GA 30083

The concert was supposed to happen on New Year’s Eve last year, but was postponed.
They’ve been called one of the finest folk duos of all time.
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers perform with the Atlanta Symphony at Atlanta Symphony Hall.
The show begins at 8 p.m. and ends before midnight.
There are only a handful of tickets available on ground level, but there are a number of tickets as low as $39.50 per ticket (plus fees) in the loge and balcony.
Georgia Aquarium New Year’s Celebration - Georgia Aquarium, 225 Baker St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313

But plan ahead to get your tickets early for next year’s event.
General admission tickets are $125 and include “light bites” from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m., four alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink tickets, live music, a midnight countdown, access to the main galleries until 11:30 p.m. and a midnight snack.
