This bike race puts a sweet southern SPIN on the traditional tailgate and turns the heart of the city into a simply extravagant party. Rent a tent, bring your friends, and load up your tailgating gear to watch cyclists race around the half-mile downtown course. The Crit consists of 6 races, 4 amateur and 2 professional races, with the first race starting at 4 PM.

The Crit is a part of the USA CRITS Speed Week series and is known for it's open-air plaza center, dangerously sharp left turns and unique atmosphere! The USA CRITS Championship Series is the premiere cycling series in the United States. USA CRITS was developed to feature criterium riders and to offer venues, teams and riders the ability to excel in a unique discipline of cycling. The races that form the USA CRITS series represent more than 100 years of criterium racing and have the ideals that have made criterium racing an American legacy: challenging courses that showcase arts and entertainment districts; a large and growing base of spectators; broad community support; and strong marketing opportunities for partners.

The Central Railroad Festival will pull into historic downtown Central Saturday, April 28 with music, great food and festivities for all ages.
This year's Railroad Festival is in collaboration with Pickens County's Sesquicentennial celebration. Central figures largely into county history with its strong railroad heritage. The town gets its name because the town is situated at the "central" point of the railroad line between Atlanta and Charlotte.
The festival begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 5 p.m., featuring entertainment, food, music and arts and crafts vendors.
There will be free entertainment for all ages, including oldies, rock, jazz and bluegrass. On the Kids Stage will be clogging, a martial arts demonstration, Buffalo Barfield Kids Show and a magic show in the afternoon with WSPA-TV personality Jack Roper. Other "kid-friendly" activities include inflatables, free "tractor" train rides and FUNction Junction, where youngsters can enjoy toy trains and a large model railroad layout.
During the festival, the Central Railway Museum will be open for free tours. The museum features a large HO-scale model railroad layout complete with cities, towns and features found in the region during the transition from steam to diesel locomotion. The museum also houses a Heritage Room, featuring classic model trains popular in the mid – 20th Century and a working display of classic Lionel trains. Also, there will be a tour of Central's red caboose.
Central restaurants will be open on the day of the festival, offering options to satisfy varying tastes. Street vendors will offer festival favorites, including barbeque, burgers, hot dogs, fish, chicken fingers and wings, sandwiches, kettle corn, fresh boiled peanuts, pound cake and ice cream, fresh squeezed lemonade, fruit smoothies and shake-ups, shaved ice, cotton candy and many more treats.
Admission to the festival is free and convenient parking is available.
The Central Railroad Festival is sponsored b¬¬¬y the Central Area Business Council and the Clemson Area Chamber of Commerce. The festival is supported by the Town of Central and the Central Railway Museum.
