Athens Twilight

The Twilight weekend has become an annual springtime tradition in Athens, as well as attracting spectators and participants from around the world for the Saturday night criterion race. Founded in 1980, the Athens Twilight Criterium offers eight separate race classes and 150 cyclists competing in the main event, the men's criterium, a 60-km race around downtown Athens.

For many years, Athens Twilight hosted a popular jazz festival. This year the UGA Hugh Hodgson School of Music is collaborating with Twilight and offering participants in the UGA/Athens Twilight Jazz Festival the opportunity to audtion for a 45-minute set on the Outdoor Stage in downtown Athens on Friday or Saturday. An All-Star Band of clinicians will headline the Outdoor Stage on Friday night.
