Emily Murray from Georgia’s Department of Economic Development told WABE, “Atlanta is going to look like something from a sci-fi movie. We’ll have super heroes, storm troopers, hobbits and more. The parade downtown is just a big party.”
Atlanta city officials advise taking MARTA downtown during the busy weekend.
Economically, Labor Day tends to be the biggest weekend for Atlanta.
