  The Cygnus region of the galaxy is one of the richest regions of gas and star
formation and is the brightest region of diffuse GeV emission in the northern
sky. VERITAS has conducted deep observations (approximately 300 hours) in the
direction of Cygnus region, reaching an average sensitivity of a few percent of
the Crab nebula flux. We present the results of these observations and an
analysis of over seven years of Fermi-LAT data above 1 GeV. In addition to a
search for new sources in the region, we present updated spectra and
morphologies of the known TeV gamma-ray sources and a study of their
relationship with the GeV emission from the region. These results are discussed
in their multiwavelength context including the recently published HAWC
observatory gamma-ray catalog. A comparison is also made to the H.E.S.S.
galactic plane survey.
