Review:
Nestled in the heart of downtown Athens, The Classic Center is one of the best and most sought-after convention centers in northeast Georgia. This award-winning building is also a performance arts center and has played host to dozens, if not hundreds, of spectacular cultural events, performances, and special events since it opened in 1995. The Classic Center sees an average of 1,200 events every year, with almost 365,000 people walking through its doors annually. Visitors to the Classic Center can explore its architectural beauty or come for an event in lovely sections like the 440 Foundry Pavilion, the 8,400 square-foot Atrium, which was modeled after Grand Central Station, the Athena Ballroom, the Classic Center Theater, and the Akins Ford Arena.
