Athens Human Rights Festival


The 38th annual Athens Human Rights Festival returns to College Square with two full days of music, speakers, performance and much more. Designed to celebrate inclusivity and put forth a progressive vision for Athens and the world, the AHRF remains one of the Classic City’s most indelible yearly events. In addition to the normal programming, this year’s event will feature a May Day march on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. to raise issues of workers’ rights. Music this year includes Caroline Aiken, Whisper Kiss, Versatyle tha Wildchyld, Savagist, Kite to the Moon, Universal Sigh and many others. See the Flagpole Calendar and athenshumanrightsfest.org.
