Fight Epilepsy. Be Fierce.
Fight Epilepsy. Be Fierce.

Everyone has a place here.
Chelsyfest is a one-day festival bringing together live music, craft beer, and people who show up for each other. Every year we come together in Athens to celebrate community, raise awareness for epilepsy, and support Children's Healthcare of Atlanta — including their Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and Camp Carpe Diem.
We're building something Athens has never had before — a real community for people living with and affected by epilepsy. A space where they feel seen and heard, have a sense of belonging, and where they are anything but alone.
And at the heart of it all is Chelsy — whose laughter, love, and fierce spirit inspired every single bit of this. We do it in her memory, and we do it for the hidden Athens epilepsy community.
Join this year’s Chelsyfest!
