Welcome to Main Street Athens.
Main Street Athens is a nonprofit organization committed to revitalizing the unique and artistic business district of downtown Athens, Tennessee. Athens is conveniently located midway between Chattanooga and Knoxville and is one of a few communities that still has a beautiful historic courthouse located in the heart of downtown.
“The Friendly City” offers a wide range of activities including live music, plays, shopping, restaurants, festivals, museums and tours.
We encourage you to dine, play, shop and live downtown!
