The Festival

For over 20 years, the Hot Corner Association has celebrated the African-American business community in Athens through its Hot Corner Festival. This block party style event, which is held the second weekend in June every year, brings together the best of Athens’ businesses, restaurants and entertainers for all Athenians to learn about and appreciate the diverse history of the Hot Corner.The Festival kicks off on Friday with a gospel extravaganza at the First AME Church.

​The heart of the festival on Saturday is the intersection of Hull and Washington streets, where the main stage is located. From here, the festival stretches down Washington Street from Pulaski to Lumpkin. Attendees can enjoy a variety of live performances throughout the day, shop from the local vendors and enjoy delicious BBQ and soul food from some of Athens’ best restaurants. Our youngest guests can enjoy the “Kids Corner” which includes games, activities and a moon bounce. This year’s festival will be held on June 8th, June 9th and June 10th.  It is open to everyone.
