Your favorite food trucks and then some will be back Friday in downtown Athens along with live music and games, crafts and activities for kids.

It is all a part of this week’s Fridays After Five event from 5-8 p.m. on The Square.

Fridays After Five is a family event created for residents to shop and eat locally. Participants can enjoy special discounts from their favorite stores and restaurants, live entertainment, food trucks and more. Fridays After Five are held from May through August on selected Fridays of each month.

This Friday, food trucks will provide Cajun, barbecue, baked potatoes and old-fashioned hamburgers and chicken wings. Rita’s and Sno-Boss will return with their signature frozen sweet treats. A new truck — Pig Time BBQ — will offer pork skins and barbecue dinner plates.

Kid Zones will be set up on Washington Street alongside the food trucks. Bring your kids to play games, crafts and activities.

The Summer Concert Series, hosted by Athens-Limestone County Tourism, will be on the Courthouse steps in front of Marion Street. Headlining this Friday will be the returning fan favorite Matt Prater and Friends, which will be performing from 7-9 p.m.
