🎃 HAPPENING TOMORROW: A Ribbon-Cutting, Trick-or-Treating, and Halloween Fun All in One Afternoon! 🎃
The City of Athens is excited to invite you to celebrate the grand opening of Oostanaula Commons on Thursday, October 22, at 4 p.m.!
This brand-new community space along Oostanaula Creek is more than just a pretty place to take a walk! Designed to improve water quality, reduce erosion and help manage stormwater, Oostanaula Commons also features a beautiful brick-paver walking trail, native landscaping, a pavilion, scenic overlook and educational displays for visitors to enjoy.
And the fun doesn't stop with the ribbon-cutting!
We're kicking off an afternoon of family-friendly festivities just in time for Halloween!
Here's what's happening:
4 p.m.: Oostanaula Commons ribbon-cutting ceremony at the on-site pavilion.
FREE Giveaways: Pick up educational goodies from the City's recycling and stormwater programs during the ceremony!
Trick-or-Treating: After the ribbon-cutting, head across the street to the annual Trick-or-Treat event at the Wetlands Trail near E.G. Fisher Public Library!
Costume Contest: Come dressed in your Halloween best! Athens Parks and Recreation will host a costume contest during the Trick-or-Treat festivities.
Whether you're excited to explore a new community space, learn a little about protecting our environment or just looking for an excuse to break out those Halloween costumes, there's something for everyone!
Join us Tomorrow, at 4 p.m. as we celebrate a new addition to the Friendly City, then stick around for an afternoon of Halloween fun!
