Statement from Athens Main Street Executive Director Tere Richardson

“We invite people to MASK UP and visit our shops and dine in our restaurants next Friday, July 17 for Fridays After Five.

It will be a great night to stroll around the square, while Social Distancing.

While we will not have the Summer Concert Series, patrons will be able to enjoy music played by our Courthouse sound system and take advantage of The Square Arts & Entertainment District, if they so choose.

We regret we will not have our food trucks but sidewalk dining will be available as will carryout that can be taken to the tables on the Courthouse lawn.

We appreciate the continued support of our local businesses”
