The Historic Athens Holiday Gala is back for 2023! For over 40 years, our organization's annual holiday party has been a fixture on the Athens event calendar. This year, we've pulled out all the stops to give our guests the experience of a lifetime.
The Main Event
Tour tickets include entry to ten historic homes, food, and drinks curated by the experts at Epting Events, a silent auction, and special programming designed to tell the story of Henderson Avenue.
This year’s tour also includes special add-on experiences, such as a limited-entry VIP party and special spirits tasting. Plus: every ticket purchased supports our mission to celebrate and conserve the community heritage of Athens, Georgia.
