Athens Main Street and the Athens-Limestone Chamber of Commerce are hosting the 35th annual Christmas Open House from Friday until Sunday.
The weekend-long event is a way for the community to come out and shop small.
That's not all. A number of restaurants are also participating, with specials and events all weekend long.
“Athens has been super supportive,†said Lori Hill, co-owner of Athens Alehouse and Cellar. “I feel like people are staying here instead of driving to neighboring cities now.â€
Athens Alehouse and Cellar is a first-time business participant in the celebration. The establishment kicked off with some fun Friday night, including offering merch through their beer representative, wine samples from their wine representative and some giveaways.
On Saturday, Athens Alehouse and Cellar will cook up some wings, and on Sunday, they’ll have a brunch option.
The Limestone County Courthouse also got in on the fun, with a light spectacular 7 p.m. Friday and a repeat performance 7 p.m. Saturday.

Athens Alehouse and Cellar will offer a holiday cocktail class Tuesday, Nov. 23.
