I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that donated or became sponsors this year. Without your generous support it would be so much harder for us to provide all of you with the wonderful and talented bands year after year.

A Huge Thank You to our Village & Town Board members, from our humble beginnings to our current status.
The Village & Town Boards helped us to get APAC off the ground and have been continuously providing assistance to us every summer for 24 years now. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

I'd like to thank our former APAC members we've worked side by side with over the years, Their efforts will not be forgotten!

I want to thank our current APAC team members for their hard work and dedication year after year. Without them it would not be what APAC is today.

Last but definitely not least....Our volunteers.
Every Friday night for years!!! They have been the ones, selling 50/50 tickets, working behind the stage, working on the stage, doing security on and off the stage. Showing up early and going home late because they care, they give of themselves so others can have a great night out and to help support the Athens Summer Concert Series. Thank you all so much for everything you give. It means so much to all of us.

If there others that i may have left out... It wasn't intentional.
I'm Old!!! lol

This is our 24th season! It's hard to believe that we're entering 24 years already. WOW!!! It's been one heck of a ride so far, with so many great concerts and wonderful memories.
We are all part of a team, together we've made something so special for our community. I remember little kids walking in the park with their parents to enjoy a concert, now i see these same kids all grown up with kids of their own. That's amazing!
Do us a favor, tell everyone about, (APAC)The Athens Performing Arts Corp. Athens Summer Concert Series.
Encourage others to donate or become sponsors. This is a team that is most effective when we all work together as a team.
The outcome will be amazing.

Donate any time you feel like...Sponsorships should be should be completed by June 15th at the latest so we can get our advertising out to the public.
You can donate online at www.apacrocks.org
or mail in at.. Athens Performing Arts Corp. P.O. Box 40 Athens, N.Y 12015

Thanks to all of You.

CLICK ON THIS LINK TO DONATE. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/191V5HHFLZ/

This is my last fundraiser prior to the start of our 2026 season beginning July 17th at the Athens Riverfront Park 1 South Water St. Athens, N.Y. 12015.
I'm dedicating my fundraiser this year to my baby girl, Bessie Mae. She was my longtime best friend, fishing partner, therapist and was by my side every Friday morning while i set up the Athens Riverfront Park to prepare for the nights performance.
I miss her terribly and am so thankful for having her in my life.
🙏❤🐾

We've been working all through the winter to Book the best bands possible for our 24th annual Athens Summer Concert Series.
Researching the bands is a tedious undertaking that takes time. From contacting the bands agents to negotiating contracts.
It takes a good amount of patience as it can take days, weeks or months to secure a solid booking for a band.

This is a free program for everyone that enjoys the 8 shows during the summer on Friday evenings that start at 7pm from the 3rd Friday in July - the first Friday in September every year.
I want to thank all of you that have donated or decided to become a sponsor for your generosity over the years.

To become a sponsor you can email me at [email protected]

We depend on your donations/sponsorships to make it all happen. Thank you so much.

We are a 501-(c)(3) not for profit so your donations are Tax deductible based on NYS applicable laws.

A message from Taj.

Hey legends, as some of you already know we have to postpone a few shows. Taj was a little under the weather and the decision was made to bring him back home to be taken to the Drs. The good news is he will be back and ready in time to hit the stage in Kentucky, bad news is we have had to postpone Athens NY, Boston MA, Philadelphia PA & Hopewell VA...more GOOD news is that we are in the process of getting new dates re-booked and we'll have those for you in the next few days. For those who have missed out on Athens NY, we are looking at booking Taj on next years season. Thank you for all the well wishes we have received so far and thank you for your patience and support 🙏🏽🙏
