Special Recap: Historic Athens Porchfest 2022, Presented by Cafe Racer! |
|
Athens, Georgia – Pedestrians and bikers filled the streets of six historic Athens neighborhoods on Sunday to support local artists at the fourth annual Historic Athens Porchfest, presented by Cafe Racer Coffee + Donuts. The sunny fall afternoon saw 158 performances on over 150 porches: the biggest Historic Athens Porchfest to date. An estimated 13,000 people attended.
Historic Athens Porchfest was created to honor the community heritage of Athens. Local music is one of the defining aspects of Athenian culture, and Historic Athens Porchfest celebrates it on the porches of historic buildings. Using historic homes and businesses as platforms for this event also draws attention to the importance of preservation.

You can purchase items from our Amazon wish list OR drop off items at ACCA or our partner, Hughes Subaru.

Support the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia - Hunger Bowl Time! |
|
We all love a friendly competition, and even better when the only way to lose is to never compete. Everyone wins by joining the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia as we launch our Hunger Bowl on November 2 by welcoming teams from across our 14-county region to raise funds and food on behalf of our neighbors!
The Hunger Bowl is the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia’s annual competitive food and fund drive. Teams from across the 14 counties we serve compete to bring in the most donations to support us in our fight against food insecurity. Teams can choose to collect food donations or raise money through our Virtual Food Drive and Venmo or do a combination of both! Every dollar donated to the Food Bank is 3 balanced meals for a neighbor, so fund drive is the way to go!
