A DeKalb County staple since its opening in 1983, the 45-minute laser show is a little different each year as the park adds new songs, features and updated fan experiences. Keeping up with the times, its newest update launched in 2017 includes sky-dancing drones synced with the show’s tunes.
Location:
The laser show takes place on Stone Mountain Park’s Memorial Lawn in direct view of the Confederate Memorial Carving. Driving by car? Enter through Stone Mountain Park’s East Gate (off Highway 78) or West gate (from James B. Rivers Memorial Drive). Pedestrians can enter through the West gate only.
