Athens Wraps-Up "Fridays After Five"

Athens Main Street is excited to celebrate the final "Fridays After Five" of the year with an evening full of live music, food trucks, local businesses and the downtown Athens community.

Headlining the event is The Velcro Pygmies, a nationally known rock ’n’ roll band celebrated for its high-energy, ’80s-centered shows. After a memorable performance last year, Athens Main Street is excited to welcome the band back to the stage for an unforgettable finale to the Fridays After Five season.

Opening the show, Mobile’s own Blow House Band will bring the energy with a live Mardi Gras-style Second Line performance. 

Guests are encouraged to join the procession, beginning at Old Black Bear Brewing Company at 6pm and ending at the front stage to help kick off the Velcro Pygmies performance at 7pm.

Throughout downtown Athens, guests can expect extended shopping and dining hours, blue cup specials, food trucks and a variety of vendors and games in the Kids Zone. This event is free and open to the public beginning at 5pm.
