ATHENS – It’s time again for some sippin’ and shoppin’ in downtown Athens.
To celebrate the holiday season, Athens Main Street is once again hosting the Sippin’ Cider Festival. Now in its 14th year, the festival offers an evening of shopping, singing and other fun holiday activities while sipping on winter’s favorite drink.
During the Sippin’ Cider Festival, participating merchants prepare and offer complimentary sample tastings of their favorite hot cider recipe. Cider enthusiasts will vote by ballot for their favorite, and the cider receiving the most votes wins the coveted Cider Cup and bragging rights for the year.
While sipping on cider, guests can tackle their Christmas shopping and browse for unique holiday decorations.
Local businesses and restaurants will be joining in the merriment with festive window displays, holiday-themed specials and extended hours, making it the perfect opportunity to support local shopping while celebrating the season.
Sippin’ Cider is Dec. 14 from 4-8 p.m. For more information, visit https://athensmainstreet.org/
