At the conclusion of the regular Lasershow Spectacular on May 23 and 24, Stone Mountain Park is honored to show a very special tribute to America’s Troops on this reflective Memorial Day Weekend. The Salute to the Troops portion of the Lasershow will begin with a narration by Norman Schwarzkopf (General, U.S. Army-Retired) that is underscored by the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers Chorus version of “Tenting Tonight”. Immediately following this will be Leanne Rimes version of “God Bless America” which will be followed by the U.S. Military Band and Ensembles version of the five forces of military anthems (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Marines). This anthem finale segment will include a spectacular fireworks show worthy of commemorating this important day and honoring everyone who has fought honorably in the name of freedom.
The Lasershow and concerts are FREE with your $10.00* vehicle admission or annual parking permit.
*Special Event Parking fees will be in effect May 23-25: $10.00 per vehicle (14 or fewer passengers) for a one-time permit or $35 for an annual permit.
