Athens This Weekend: May 17 - 19

The weekend is almost here, and we're ready for some fun in the Classic City! Head on over to Athens, Georgia this weekend to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies at the Athens Farmer's Market or to try your hand at classic clay making! And if that isn't enough, enjoy an exciting game of baseball as UGA takes on SEC rival, the Florida Gators. 



Try Clay, every Friday at Good Dirt, is a wonderful opportunity it is to sit down with family and friends and explore the classic art of clay making! Students at the Good Dirt Clay Class will work directly with terra cotta clay to create one-of-a-kind souvenirs. Join in on the fun Friday, May 17, or any Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is $20 and registration is required. 



If this isn't the perfect weekend for a baseball game in Athens, Georgia, we don't know what is! So grab your friends, pack a snack and come support the UGA baseball team as  they take on the Florida Gators right here in Foley Field. The games will be held Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. Admission ranges from $5 to $8. 



What better way to spend time with family and friends than a beautiful morning at the Athens Farmer's Market! Featuring naturally grown food, crafts and works of art, there's something for everyone at the Athens Farmer's Market! The Market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon and admission is free.

Head's up . . . AthFest is just a month away, and over 150 amazing performers have been lined up, along with great overnight packages that start at just $105 per couple, which pair your hotel room with  festival wristbands, AthFest CDs, and t-shirts.  What a deal!  Check out more AthFest information here!
