It changed the face of Atlanta, and it’s going to be honored fondly.

In the early 1990s Atlanta beat out five other cities to win the bid to host the 1996 Olympics.

It was a moment that put an international spotlight on Atlanta, and city officials have announced plans to celebrate its anniversary.

On Sept. 18, a reunion party will be held for the city officials who represented the city in its final Olympic bid in Tokyo back in 1990.

This event will give the group known as “Atlanta’s Dreamers and Believers” a chance to remember the time they helped change the face of the city.

“The upcoming September event will bring back some truly wonderful memories which echo in our hearts to this day. And we will relive those extraordinary moments that led to the famous headline, ‘It’s Atlanta!’ which is forever etched in our minds. Even more important will be next year’s public celebration of the Games themselves which involved so many proud Georgians,” said Billy Payne, the president and chief executive officer of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games.

A bigger public event, honoring the 20th anniversary of the Olympics, is scheduled for July 2016.
