Georgia Southern University featured in Stone Mountain Park’s 25th Anniversary Lasershow Spectacular

Hail the Blue, Hail the White. Thousands of visitors to Stone Mountain Park will hear the Georgia Southern University fight song along with seeing the familiar Georgia Southern eagle logo as part of the 25th Annual Lasershow Spectacular.

A long-standing Atlanta tradition, the Lasershow Spectacular celebrates its 25th anniversary with a brand-new show that includes a sports medley prominently featuring Georgia Southern University. During the Lasershow Spectacular, Stone Mountain is transformed into a natural amphitheater and the show is projected onto the side of the mountain. The Stone Mountain Park signature event combines colorful lasers, surround sound and special effects into a 45 minute light show, precisely choreographed to music. Stone Mountain Park’s Lasershow Spectacular is the longest running event of its kind in the world.

“Thousands of visitors to Stone Mountain will have the opportunity to see Georgia Southern University featured this summer in one of the most popular events in Atlanta,” said Christian Flathman, director of marketing and communications at Georgia Southern University. “Georgia Southern University is very appreciative of the opportunity to be featured as part of such a major event and we hope to hear our alumni singing along with the music this summer.”

The Lasershow Spectacular has been named the #1 Spring Event in Atlanta by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In addition, Stone Mountain Park is listed in Frommer’s 500 Places to Visit with Your Kids Before They Grow Up and was cited by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as one of “35 Natural Wonders in Georgia You Must See Before You Die.” Stone Mountain Park is located just 16 miles east of downtown Atlanta.
