Dirty Athens Day Party

The biggest, loudest, sweatiest unofficial festival event is Caledonia’s Saturday daytime shindig, which runs from approximately 3–9 p.m. and features a carefully selected lineup of Athens’ buzziest rock groups spread over two stages—one inside, one out. This year features the first local performance from David Barbe and his new band, Inward Dream Ebb—featuring members of New Madrid—as well as sets from Nihilist Cheerleader, Hannie and the Slobs, Juan de Fuca, Neighbor Lady, Hot Fudge, Cowboy Curtys, Apparition, Wanderwild, O Key and Illegal Drugs. The best part? It’s free! Stop by, crush a couple-few PBRs and soak up some guitar-riffic sounds.
