Atlanta Day Parties — Memorial Day Weekend 2026
What 'day party' actually means in Atlanta
Atlanta day parties run roughly noon to 8–10 PM — sometimes earlier, sometimes flowing into a night component. They split into three types:
- Pool parties (HUSH, Project Mayhem) — pool access is the anchor, fits run from swim-ready to pool-party-fit.
- Outdoor block / cookout parties (RnB Block Party, RnB Cookout) — food + bar + DJ, dressy-casual.
- Rooftop / venue day events — limited pool, more lounge energy.
Memorial Day weekend has at least one major event in each category every day from Friday May 22 through Monday May 25.
Saturday — HUSH Pool Party
HUSH Pool Party (Dukes, Boots & Swimsuits) is the Saturday anchor. Rodeo-themed, 3 PM start, mechanical bull contest, foam machine, open bar option on the higher tiers. Tickets $10–$75. It's the biggest pool-day option for the Saturday slot.
Sunday — RnB Block Party + cookout circuit
RnB Block Party ATL runs Sunday May 24 from 12 PM to 6 PM outdoors. The 4th Annual RnB Cookout (Ladies Love RnB) is the Memorial Day Monday lane at Grant Park — but Sunday is the bigger day for cookout-style events. Pace yourself: Sunday is your in-between day before Monday.
Monday — Project Mayhem
Project Mayhem is the Memorial Day Monday day party. 1,000 capacity, Fairburn pool venue, included shuttle, cabanas from $350, GA from $20. Runs 3 PM – 10 PM.
Why it's the Monday call: - Monday's calendar is much thinner than Saturday/Sunday. - It's the only branded pool experience on the holiday itself. - The shuttle handles the logistics so you can drink and not drive. - Atlanta PD is on-site and security is heavily enforced.
