The lineup has been announced for AthFest 2025. The 27th annual music and arts festival takes place June 20 through 22 in downtown Athens. It features performances on three outdoor stages and Club Crawl shows. AthFest Educates executive director Mary Joyce says attendees can expect to hear a wide range of music.
“So, this year I’m thrilled to say we have an incredibly diverse lineup,” according to Joyce. “We have everything from rock, to country, to bluegrass, to klezmer, to hip hop, to R&B, world music, a steel drum band. Just about anything you can picture will be going on during AthFest weekend.”
In addition to free outdoor stage performances, the festival also includes a variety of other entertainment choices.
“There is a juried artist market, all kinds of different wares. There is Kids Fest, which features the Kids Fest stage, sponsored by the Clarke County School District, with youth performers as well as music directed at young families. Kids Fest also features inflatables, arts activities, rides.”
Proceeds from AthFest benefit AthFest Educates, a nonprofit which provides grants to support music and arts education for local K-12 youth.
