Gotta Do This…The Millennium Gate
Fireworks, parades and picnics – everyone knows it’s a time for celebration on July 4, and Atlanta is no different. While there will be fireworks in certain locations, there will also be a special grand opening of sorts in Midtown. Located in mixed-use, sustainable development Atlantic Station, the Millennium Gate will open to the public. Tickets for this event are available by pre-purchased through Ticketmaster, and a limited number will be available at the door on the day of the event.
Designed by Rodney M. Cook, Jr., president and founder of the National Monuments Foundation, the 82-foot monument is the largest public monument to be built since the Jefferson Memorial. The design resemble the arches of Arch of Titus in Rome and the St. Denis Arch in Paris. Inside the monument, located on 17th Street, is a 12,000-square-foot museum that highlights the history of Georgia from the Georgia Indians to present-day.
