Memorial Day Monday in Atlanta — Where to Go (May 25 2026)
Why Monday is the move
Most Memorial Day weekend coverage in Atlanta focuses on Saturday — and for good reason, the Saturday lineup is dense. But by Monday the city resets: many people have already burned through Saturday/Sunday, and the calendar thins out. That makes Monday the day for the people who actually want to be there — quieter on the front-end, higher-energy on the back-end, and the easiest day to lock down cabanas.
Project Mayhem — the headline
Project Mayhem is the Memorial Day Monday pool party for Atlanta. Produced by Mayhem World Entertainment.

RnB Cookout at Grant Park
The 4th Annual RnB Cookout (Ladies Love RnB) runs Monday May 25 starting at 12 PM at Grant Park. It's a cookout / outdoor day event — food, drinks, DJ. Lower-key than a pool party, family-feel. Good early Monday move before you ride the shuttle out to Project Mayhem in the afternoon.
A clean Monday plan
If you're choosing between events on Memorial Day Monday in Atlanta, the layered approach is the move:
- 12 PM: Eat at Grant Park — RnB Cookout for the food and the easy daylight crowd.
- 2:30 PM: Head to the Atlanta shuttle pickup point.
- 3 PM – 10 PM: Project Mayhem at the Fairburn pool venue.
- Night: Recover. Tuesday is a work day for most people.
If you can only do one Monday move, do Project Mayhem — Monday's pool slot is the cap event of the weekend.
