This year, we proudly opened Akins Ford Arena, hosted 600+ events across three premier venues, and generated an estimated $82 million in economic impact for Athens, Georgia! From live entertainment and the arts to conferences, community gatherings, and sporting events, we’re honored to serve as a hub for connection and creativity. Thank you to our partners, patrons, and community for your continued support. We’re grateful to be a pillar of the arts and a welcoming meeting space for all. #Georgia #AthensGA #Athens #AkinsFordArena #TheClassicCenter
