AthHalf is presented by AthFest, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to music and arts education. AthFest is most widely known for its annual summer event featuring outdoor music, children’s activities, a club crawl, and local music awards. For the past 15 years, AthFest has showcased the best in local, regional, and nationally recognized Athens-based talent.
AthFest, Inc. has expanded its mission to promote music education in schools. Programs like AthFest AfterSchool and AthFest InSchool bring local musicians into elementary schools for interactive music education. Musicians play songs and discuss everything from the mechanics of their instruments and how they produce sound to songwriting and the business of touring.
AthFest volunteers also run “Keys for Kids,” an ongoing instrument drive to provide music equipment to kids who cannot afford them. For more information about donating or getting involved, contact Jared Bailey at (706) 548-1973 or director@athfest.com.
