The Athens Cultural Center is proud to present its 2025 Summer Music Series: four evenings of free live music spotlighting the diverse sounds of the Hudson Valley. Taking place at Athens Riverfront Park and Night School, the series blends performances by rising and established artists with youth engagement through open sound checks and Q&As. The series opens June 21 with indie pop artist Ciarra Fragale (Night School) followed by lo-fi storyteller Hen in the Foxhouse (July 19, Night School), the genre-defying Goddess Party (August 16, Athens Riverfront Park), and reggae-soul fusion powerhouse the Big Takeover (September 20, Athens Riverfront Park).
