On campus: the nights people forget about

Georgia Southern runs a lot of free evening events. They're some of the easiest places to meet people:

• The Williams Center hosts student nights like karaoke and glow-in-the-dark golf.

• The Yard on Chandler has food trucks at lunch on set weekdays this fall.

Game days

Home football at Allen E. Paulson Stadium is the biggest event of a Statesboro fall. Basketball at Hanner Fieldhouse and baseball at Bo Pitts Field fill the rest of the year. TONIGHT lists home games with kickoff times from the official schedule.

Downtown Statesboro

• The Averitt Center for the Arts runs the Emma Kelly Theater, with tribute shows, concerts and touring acts.
• The Statesboro Main Street Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings in season: local produce, coffee, handmade goods and live music.
• Downtown also hosts seasonal festivals and markets, listed on TONIGHT when they're announced.

Tips for a night in Statesboro

• Most of the night revolves around a few spots, so check the weekly specials before you pick one.
• Plan your ride. Statesboro is spread out. Use the 🚗 Ride button on any TONIGHT listing to open Uber or Lyft with the venue filled in.
