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.
