As promised, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) ushered in 2025, and an 18-month centennial celebration, by lighting up its signature canopies with a New Year’s countdown.

Here’s what it looked like.

Happy New Year! 🎉

In 2025, ATL celebrates 100 years of connecting Atlanta to the world. From dreams to runways, we’ve built A Century in Flight.

Each of ATL’s North and South steel canopies stretches out 864 feet by 200 feet. The canopies provide shade over eight lanes of traffic at the airport’s curbside drop-off and pick-up areas and have LED lighting displays.

In 2025, a special centennial design will be displayed on the canopies every night except for the nights when a scheduled holiday or special day is being honored. The 2025 schedule isn’t posted yet, but in 2024 ATL’s canopies were lit in various colors for more than 22 special days marking everything from Valentine’s Day and President’s Day to Autism Awareness, Earth Day and Christmas.

If only ATL had a Canopy Cam!
