From May 22 to 25, 2026, Stone Mountain Park commemorates Memorial Day with a special four-day event, to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
The highlight is the Drone & Light Show, which will be followed by a special salute to the troops, and epic fireworks all four nights of the holiday weekend. The show starts at 9:30 and features lights, iconic music, lasers, epic fireworks, and flame cannons.
During Memorial Weekend, the Drone show will also feature a formation of 250 fire drones, flying in formation to create the image of an eagle. Don’t forget: You’ll pay $20 for parking, unless you’ve purchased a parking pass for the year. Ticket options: • You can get an Attractions Pass, which include access to attractions, seasonal live entertainment, plus lawn seating for the Drone & Light Show. • Drone & Light Show Only tickets for lawn seating are also available starting at $5, but do not include access to attractions. • You can also upgrade to terrace seating — tickets start at $15 and include a reserved seat on a paved terrace to view the Light Show, one Coca-Cola beverage, and unlimited popcorn.

Active duty, veterans, and retired military personnel will receive one free Attractions Pass with valid ID, and will save up to 30% off per person for immediate family members at the ticket plaza inside the park. Note that you can’t get this deal online, only in-person.
