Weather & Visibility
Medium risk — Cold winter night; decentralized display means visibility depends on your neighborhood and obstructions (trees/buildings).
Safety & Crowds
City-authorized, licensed display; decentralized to reduce downtown crowds. Do not call 911 to report fireworks; use ATL 311.
Getting There
MARTA typically extends service on NYE (verify yearly); decentralized model reduces single-site congestion.
Alcohol
No central ticketed venue in the new model; bars/rooftops citywide serve. Designate a sober ride.
