Athens Music Walk of Fame

The Athens Music Walk of Fame, unveiled in 2020 in downtown Athens, highlights the artists, organizations and locations that helped make the Classic City’s music scene legendary. The Walk of Fame is located downtown near some of Athens’ most famous music venues, including the Georgia Theatre and the 40 Watt Club. In 2020, the Athens Music Walk of Fame inducted ten people in downtown Athens, and the Athens Music Walk of Fame Committee selects five inductees each year. The Athens Music Walk of Fame Committee, appointed by the mayor, considers artists’ contributions, historical significance, career span, musical style, and diversity representation. Local designer Allen Sutton designed the plaque. The walk is funded by the Athens Cultural Affairs Commission and supported by the Athens Downtown Development Authority, Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Arts Division, and Athens-Clarke County Transportation and Public Works Streets & Drainage Division.
