Owned and operated by the City of Athens, The Texan:
was originally a local movie theatre that many Henderson
County residents reminisce about seeing their first movie or
going on their first date. Thanks to a generous donation from
local Athens longtime residents, the Head Family, the Texan
Design Committee was formed and together with the City of
Athens the location was transformed. The Grand Opening
Celebration, held on July 4th, 2018, featured singer Darryl
Worley and was the kickoff to the Annual Texan Summer
Concert Series. The event was a hit with the Athens community
who enjoyed selecting from local food truck vendors and local
wineries while enjoying great music in this vibrant downtown
venue. On November 2018 The Texan was selected by the
Texas Downtown Association President’s Award for the Best
Renovation/Rehabilitation/Restoration for a population under
15K. The Texan: A Landmark Venue is proud to offer musical
entertainment from the local community, as well as regional and
national acts featuring a variety of genres of music ranging from
country to Latino…folk to alternative/rock.
