Welcome To Athens, GA

Consider Spending Time in the Quaint Southern Community of Athens, GA

Athens lies in the hilly northeastern Piedmont region of the state and is the home of the University of Georgia. As a college town, the community features a wealth of dining and shopping options in addition to cultural arts venues and music clubs. Visitors enjoy touring the Georgia Museum of Art or strolling through the tranquil State Botanical Garden of Georgia.

Things To Do

February attracts wine enthusiasts to the annual Athens Wine Weekend in February. The event features chef prepared meals and wine pairings. The weekend culminates in a Grand Tasting where vintners present hundreds of wines from various countries.

The two-day Human Rights Festival welcomes all each April. Activists, area community members, national and global organization representatives offer presentations concerning political and social subjects. There is also live entertainment and children's activities.

During the weekend at the end of each April, Athens residents turn out for the Indie South Fair. Artists, designers and entrepreneurs share their talents during the event, which also features food, beverages, music and kid's crafts.

Locals celebrate the summer at the end of June with the annual Athfest Music & Arts Festival. Held in the historic downtown area, the weekend event showcases the talents of more than 100 bands and visual artists. The festival also includes an arts and crafts market, food and drink vendors and a KidsFest.

The end of September brings the yearly Hop Harvest Festival to town. The event commemorates hop harvest, which remains an essential ingredient for area breweries. Food trucks provide refreshments, bands provides the entertainment and Terrapin beer presents more than a dozen brews for the sampling.
