Athfest is Athens’ annual, free three-day music festival that happens every summer. Planning is well under way for this year’s event. Mary Joyce, the Executive Director of Athfest Educates, sat down with WUGA’s Alexia Ridley to announce the opening of applications for artists and musicians.

Alexia Ridley joined WUGA as Television and Radio News Anchor and Reporter in 2013. When WUGA TV concluded operations, she became the primary Reporter for WUGA Radio. Alexia came to Athens from Macon where she served as the News Director and show host for WGXA TV. She's a career journalist and Savannah native hailing from the University of Michigan. However, Alexia considers herself an honorary UGA DAWG!
