Okay, kids, there always has to be some kind of wrinkle anytime you do something, right? It just so happens that the downtown Athens Christmas parade will coincide with the opening of the doors at the Melting Point at 6pm. That's okay except the Melting Point is on the parade route, which means there's only one street open to get there.
Fortunately, we have directions, courtesy of the Melting Point:
Parking Directions & Street Closure Information for December 4th
As a portion of Dougherty Street will be closed for the start of the parade route as of 6:15 p.m. We are suggesting everyone enter the Melting Point from the North side of Athens.
If you are traveling from Atlanta via Hwy 316 we suggest you take Loop 10 North and follow until the North Avenue exit. Take North Avenue towards downtown Athens as you enter the downtown corridor turn right onto Dougherty Street and make an immediate right into the hotel.
Other streets affected and information to consider:
Thomas Street (in front of the Classic Center) will be blocked starting at 6:30 p.m.
The Parade will begin at 7 p.m. and staging will begin 30 minutes prior to the start.
Streets should re-open by 8-8:30 p.m.
If you need additional directions or have questions about the parade route, please do not hesitate to contact Guest Services at 706.549.7020.
Sorry for any inconvenience - see you tomorrow!
