Criterium Racing, Festival and Live Music at Bailey Park
The Winston-Salem Cycling Classic course has become known for its challenging route that loops up and around Bailey Park, offering some of the most exciting bike racing in the country.
Watch pros and amateurs compete all day and take in the extra entertainment at the festival in Bailey Park all afternoon.
We’ll have plenty of food trucks and a beer garden too, so plan to spend the day.
Then, stick around for our FREE (yes, FREE) concert into the night!
