AlanFest 2016


The fifth annual AlanFest is presented by the David Alan Lewis Foundation, a nonprofit established in memory of the late UGA student. (Proceeds benefit the group’s scholarship in landscape architecture at the university.) This year’s events take place Thursday through Saturday and include a kickoff party at Terrapin as well as two shows at Live Wire featuring Packway Handle Band, Showtime, the Isaac Bramblett Band, the Marcus King Band and many more. There’s also a free Georgia Theatre Rooftop show Friday. Presale tickets for the Live Wire shows are available for a discounted price. See Calendar listings for complete info.
