#Halloween is all about the #costumes! Come to the brewery in costume, take a picture with your beer, and tag #athenticbrewing. One random poster will receive a...t $25 bar tab! Just a reminder that on Halloween, we are passing candy or toys out to kids (while supplies last) and adults can play "Trick or Treat."

Looking for a fun and safe way to celebrate Halloween this year? Then join us for TRUNK-OR-TREAT! We'll be blocking off and decorating a part of our parking l...ot as we celebrate Spooky Season in the best way possible: with CANDY! Come and grab as much as you can from decorated car trunks, meet locals, play games, and we'll even have our staff joining in the party with costumes of their own! October 31st from 12PM-6PM See more

What we didn't know we needed! Check out this "Community Catharsis" for 2020 starting Today at ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art. ATHICA invites the public to lend artifacts, meditations, posters, signs, artwork, and personal expressions to an ongoing drop-in pin-up exhibition and community farewell to 2020. A community message wall will provide opportunities for on-site creation and reflection. The exhibition will run through January 9, 2021 and timed tickets are available to ensure no more than 10 attendees in the gallery at a time. What a great way to say Goodbye to this most dastardly of years, to reflect and find meaning, and to move forward, together!

Leave it to the amazingly creative folks in Athens to come up with plenty of socially distant and virtual Halloween activities, despite Covid! Check out our Athens Events Calendar to see what's happening and make plans! https://bit.ly/2VBmqJq

Yes, 2020 has certainly been frightening. Now, it's time for you to take back the fun of the fright, with a visit to Zombie Farms Haunted Trail - Athens GA. This haunted trail has plenty of outdoor space to spread out, so you'll be safe from everything but screams. And new this year, you can turn the dial on the scare level, with Sunday nights reserved for a less-heart-pounding experience with all the spooky scenes but without the actors and jump scares. Every weekend in October. https://bit.ly/2oCauLV
