The 8th annual Floyd Fest music festival will be held from July 23rd through July 26th. This festival features great bands from all around the world. Along with the great music there’s also plenty to eat and some cool stores to check out (the restaurants and stores are set up in tents.)

This year the festival includes performances by Blues Traveler, Railroad Earth, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Toubab Krewe, and Donna the Buffalo.

Past performers have included Ani Defranco, Los Lobos, David Grisman, The Avett Brothers, Xavier Rudd, The Hackensaw Boys, and Speech from Arrested Development.

Campground space is available. If you’re not the camping type you can try to book a night at Hotel Floyd.

Go to the Across The Way Productions website to learn more about this festival which is held right off the Blue Ridge Parkway at MP 170.5, which is actually in Patrick County, not Floyd County.
