First-Ever Patio Party Brings the Heat with Yard Games & Fresh Décor, Cools Guests
Down with Refreshing Summer Sips, After-Hours Event Extends the Fun
Nothing says summertime quite like Coca-Cola, and this year, World of Coca-Cola is inviting guests to celebrate at the all-new Enjoy! Patio Party. On weekdays from May 30 through July 1, the activation will bring ice-cold seasonal sips, yard games, festive décor and photo opps to World of Coca-Cola’s outdoor patio. On June 9, the attraction will turn up the heat with Enjoy! Sunset Party, an after-hours, adults-only event including a DJ, full bar with specialty cocktails, outdoor games and more. Finally, World of Coca-Cola will launch a fresh, interactive Pop Culture exhibit in June featuring the work of six female illustrators.
Party on the Patio
The Enjoy! Patio Party will evoke laid-back vibes and beloved pastimes with yard games like corn hole and ring toss that encourage a bit of friendly competition. Weather permitting, the activation will take place on the attraction’s outdoor patio area and is included as part of every general admission ticket weekdays May 30 through July 1. When it’s time to cool off from the heat, visitors can try crisp and refreshing beverages available at tasting stations, including new AHA ® sparkling water flavors and Minute Maid ® Aguas Frescas. Beachy photo opportunities invite guests to capture the moment.
Secure the Swag
To bring a piece of the experience home, guests can swing by the Coca-Cola Store to browse the colorful Enjoy! retail collection. Aimed at transporting guests to a beach boardwalk, the vibrant collection includes eye-catching graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts, bucket hats, stickers and more. Shop in person or online.
When the Sun Goes Down
On Thursday, June 9, World of Coca-Cola will host its second-ever, adults-only event from 7-10 p.m. Enjoy! Sunset Party will feature a DJ, dancing, games, photo opps, light bites and a full bar as well as specialty summer cocktails. Tickets cost $38 and include one drink ticket. Guests must be 21 years or older to attend.
Experience Real Magic
Later this summer, the Pop Culture Gallery will unveil a new, interactive exhibit featuring the work of six female illustrators and an augmented reality experience. Rooted in the insight that magic lives in unexpected moments of connection that elevate the everyday into the extraordinary, the exhibit will capture the spirit of Real Magic, Coca-Cola’s new global brand platform.

21+ Food Festival– Midnight Market to Pop-Up in Atlanta June 2022
June 10-11 5pm-11:59pm
Atlantic Station– Pinnacle Lot
Tickets here.
Midnight Market is an All Night Happy Hour for Foodies who love to eat, drink, & dance! Originally from NYC, the 21+ food fest will be popping up at Atlantic Station for two nights- June 10 & June 11. Atlanta is the first stop of their national tour of experiential 21 and over food festivals. Midnight Market brings together the fun of a night out with the deliciousness of a food festival. It is more than just a typical street fair, it’s a foodie nightlife event complete with DJ entertainment, activities, and a cocktail bar. In celebration of the Atlanta debut there will also be a roller skating rink on-site along with a pop-up artisan market experience.
Guests will be able to buy foods from local favorite vendors such as Adobo (Filipino American Cooking), NYC’s favorite vendor, Mozzarepas (Colombian sweet arepas), the Tillamook Ice Cream Truck, and so many more! There will also be pop-up bars provided by Alcohol Heroes where guests can enjoy delicious cocktails while they taste the world. The food vendors create a smaller portion of their regular menu items so guests can try a little bit of everything while the bar serves some menu items at happy hour pricing. Since 2016 the motto of Midnight
Market has always been “Small Bites for a Small Price,” and the founders feel strongly that this theme should continue especially while we come out of the pandemic.
“The theme of Midnight Market has always been to be fun, affordable and a great way for local businesses to thrive in their community. We started Midnight Market six years ago with the goal of uplifting vendors by providing a marketing platform that will allow them to interact with the locals. Now that we are slowly coming out of the pandemic, we knew that it was the most important time to bring events to major cities to unite communities with music, food, shopping and and a relaxed vibe.” – Perla Nieves, Co-Founder of
Midnight Market.
