Athens This Weekend: November 8 - 10

If you've been missing the Classic City, this weekend is the one to remedy that. Come experience a weekend with all the Athens essentials: culture, live music, and of course, UGA Football. Homecoming weekend, even! No matter what you're looking for, there are enough fun things going on this weekend in Athens, Georgia, to satisfy the whole family. 


The Spotlight on the Arts Festival is officially underway, and that means that there are an abundance events. This Friday night at 8 p.m., head on over to the University of Georgia Fine Arts Theatre to watch your favorite Jane Austen novel come to life in George Contini's take of Pride and Prejudice. Bring your special someone and share a night celebrating the 200th anniversary of the classic love story. This is a ticketed event. For a complete list of events and more information, click here.



It's homecoming weekend in Athens, Georgia! After a nail-biting win against the University of Florida last weekend, our Dawgs are back at home to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers. Kick off the weekend on Friday night at 6 p.m. with the homecoming parade in downtown Athens. Then wake up early for a morning of tailgating in the Classic City before the 12:30 kickoff. There's only a few more home games for the 2013 season, so make sure you soak them all up before we say goodbye to UGA football for another year. For more information on this game, click here.  


No perfect Athens weekend is complete without some live music at the Georgia Theatre. After the game on Saturday, come celebrate the win with a night of rowdy fun. 106.1 WNGC welcomes the Randy Rogers Band to the legendary Athens venue, along with Wade Bowen and Bobby Compton with a full night of music. Doors open at 8 p.m., Compton at 9 p.m., Bowen at 9:45 p.m., and Randy Rogers takes the stage 11:05 p.m. More information on the show can be found here

There are only two more home UGA football games left for the 2013 season. Before we say goodbye to football Saturdays in Athens for the year, make sure you don't miss out on any match up between the hedges.
