Local band Towne Park Drive performs at 455 N. Milledge Ave. during the 2025 Historic Athens Porchfest. The annual music festival took place in Athens, where local artists performed on their front porch across the seven historic neighborhoods. “I really enjoy porchfest. It allows people from all different walks of life to perform music despite prior experience,” Clarke Central High School junior Vera Mize, who attended the event, said. “(It’s) an amazing way for our community to come together in Athens, and it also carries the strong music element in Athens history onto younger generations.” Photos by Iliana Tejada
