This is the next to last festival. You are cordially invited to the town of Athens, Georgia with your most beloved others to experience five days of exciting, inimitable, and unforgettable musical happenings. For just under a week, over 70 artists possessed of unique and singular vision will guide you through our city streets, alleyways, gardens, and most cherished crevices to your center of sonic discovery. Come en masse to hear the sounds of legendary writer, arranger, composer, and muse, Van Dyke Parks. Dance to the beat of moody, iconic, poly-rhythmic, and internationally influential women of the Bronx, ESG. And witness the intimate spectacle of the Music Tapes' orchestra of inanimate objects, more animate than many living souls.

Behold a constellation of auditory and visual art situations as you unexpectedly find yourself right in the middle of them. Revel in the spooky, celebratory spirit of All Hallows' Eve all weekend as you encounter haunted performances like Halloween Live. See your children grow right before your eyes as you march alongside them to one of our several all-ages events. Or meet your next starship co-pilot as you encounter and liaise with the actual purveyors of these artful occurrences. From the 27th through the 31st of October, this year of 2010, you may, when we psychically posses the New Earth Music Hall, the Melting Point, the State Botanical Gardens, Seney-Stovall Chapel, Ben's Bikes and other creepy crannies. Peel your eyeballs on this web for schedules, videos, songs, announcements, and more. Take our sage advice and procure yourself a ticket now before they disappear -- FOREVER!
