Athens This Weekend: November 30-December 2

We hear there's a pretty big football game in Atlanta on Saturday, but as the home of the Bulldogs, Athens is a great place to be this weekend! Businesses are opening for special Holiday celebrations, exhibits at local galleries and a 'stomp' show for a great cause. So, if you didn't get the hottest ticket in the country, you're still in for a great weekend in the Classic City!

Featuring over ten notable Athens artists, gathered together for an art show and sale just in time for the holidays! Friday's preview party from 5-8 p.m. includes refreshments and music. Sale continues Saturday from 9-6 and Sunday from 10-2! Come celebrate the Athens arts scene at ATHICA!
