The 40 Watt Club is one of the most famous and iconic music venues in the world.

In addition to national acts, the club has served as a music home base for many of Athens’ most beloved bands over the last 35 years, including R.E.M., the B-52’s, Pylon, Love Tractor, Vic Chesnutt, Olivia Tremor Control, Five Eight, Neutral Milk Hotel, Jucifer, Drive-By Truckers, of Montreal, The Whigs, Maserati, and more.

If music venues could talk, Georgia Theatre would regale you with enough transfixing tales to fill volumes. This iconic, 600-seat mainstay of the Athens music scene has been a vital part of the city’s unique history since before sliced bread was invented. A list of past shows reads like a roll call of Music Hall of Fame inductees, from The Police to B.B. King, from Muddy Waters to Taylor Swift, from the Dave Matthews Band to Beck.

The Firefly trail is considered a Rail-to-Trail meaning it was built on an old and out-of-use Railroad Track. The original railroad, The Georgia Railroad, was built in 1841, and in 1888 bridges were added over the North Oconee River and Trail Creek to bring trains directly into downtown Athens. You will notice this as you cross the beautiful trestle bridge that brings you over the North Oconee River at the beginning of the trail. Rails-to-Trails like the Firefly trail provide a safe place for everyone to bike, walk, run, or rollerblade. The wide base of the original railroad tracks allows the trail to be 14 ft wide, giving everyone plenty of room to enjoy it.

Open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
