Byron (Atlanta International) Pop Festival - 50th Anniversary

The 2nd Atlanta International Pop Festival was held at the Middle Georgia Raceway in Byron over the 4th of July weekend in 1970. More than 30 acts performed over the 3+ days and the festival drew several hundred thousand fans. 20 years ago, GMS Productions of Macon syndicated a 30th anniversary radio special about the event. That program has been updated for the 50th anniversary of the event, that has come to be known in Middle Georgia as the "Byron Pop Festival."
