We had a great time during our 2023 festival, and are working on details for 2024. In the meantime, take advantage of Early Bird pricing and get 10% off your order through Sept. 15, 2024.
Ticket sales and Will Call will be located in our Gift Shop inside the Sandridge Hall Student Center, and will open one hour prior to each event throughout the week. All ticket holders must stop by the Ticket Office to pick up their swatches, which will allow them entrance to the tent during their ticketed times. Allow yourselves 15 minutes to get your swatches before showtime.
NOTE: Our tent will be on the Athens State University Campus by Brown Hall, an easy walk from the downtown square shops and restaurants we all enjoy. We will also run a complimentary shuttle from the festival tent grounds to downtown Athens.
Includes admission to all events, Thursday thru Saturday, Oct 24-26, 2024. Excludes school days.
