Description
Celebrate Pride Month with a walk through Athens’ LGBTQ+ history, guided by local history enthusiast and Historic Athens Welcome Center staff member Rin Gunn. This two-mile tour explores the people, places, and stories that have shaped queer life in the Classic City, from the Southeast’s first openly gay dance at Memorial Hall in 1972 to the community spaces that continue to thrive today. Highlights include Church Bar, Memorial Hall, and other meaningful stops that trace the evolution of Athens’ queer community. With a blend of personal insight and local history, Rin offers a thoughtful look at how activism, resilience, and joy have shaped Athens across generations. Whether you’re new to town or have lived here for years, this walk offers an even more diverse perspective on the city we all love. Tickets may be purchased at bit.ly/heritagewalk25
