Five years. One fierce community.

Swipe for the moments that made it: ribbon dancing, tie-dye creations, makers, music, and everyone who came to make a difference in our community. Fierce, joyful, and oh, so Athens 💜

Find yourself, your people, your favorite booth in the full 2026 photo gallery, with 100+ pics. Link in bio!

🍺 Want to keep the vibes going? Pick up FIERCE Nut Brown Ale at Athentic Brewing Company before it sells out. A portion of the proceeds directly supports Chelsyfest!

“Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.” —Dolly Parton 🌸

Reflecting on Dolly’s words on , we never dreamed that honoring Chelsy would turn into a five-year journey. But our Athens community cares unlike anything we could have imagined. We’ve learned so much over the years, and we’re committed to being more and giving back year after year to . 💜

When we set out to celebrate Chelsy’s life in 2022, we hoped we might raise MAYBE $5,000. It is truly surreal to look back today and realize that together, we have raised over $50,000! 🏔️✨

We could not have reached this milestone without our incredible Athens community, the Fiddler's family, our chosen families, and loved ones who supported us along the way. To every donor, volunteer, attendee, artist, business owner and community partner—thank you. Every gift truly counts, and it also takes a village.

Chelsy would be deeply grateful (and horribly embarrassed!), but mostly honored to see the love poured into this cause, not to mention the giant amount of fun and dancing we’ve shared along the way. 💃🎶

Cheers to us, ALL of us! 🍻 💜
