For those unfamiliar, Athens is your quintessential college town. It is home to the University of Georgia which is one of the oldest public universities in the country.

Athens is known for its music scene so if you're coming early or staying after the wedding, be sure to check out the local concert calendar. Georgia Theatre and 40 Watt Club are two of the city's most iconic venues.

There's no shortage of restaurants, bars, and breweries either, so take your pick! Creature Comforts is one of our favorites.

For the cyclists, there are miles of rolling hills perfect for a road or gravel bike. Walker Park in downtown has a few miles of trail and Fort Yargo State Park in nearby Winder has 26 miles of fast and flowy XC trails.
