✨ MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY PLANS FOR DOWNTOWN ATHENS!
Mark your calendars for November 20–22! Skating on the Square returns, Pictures With Santa gives families a chance to capture some holiday magic, and Merry Market on Marion brings even more holiday cheer.⛸️
The festivities kick off Friday evening with Tree Lighting on the Square at 5 PM on November 20. Join us as we celebrate the start of the holiday season in downtown Athens.
