scheduled for Oct. 12-14, includes
35,000 of your best friends plus more
activities than you can do in three
days-camping, biking, paddling,
races, fishing, climbing. But you can
surely try.
From the moment you arrive at River's Edge, you'll know why GO Fest has

and events for you to participate in,
deciding what to cram into your action-packed weekend can be tough.
The best way to take it all in is to
grab a free camp site and plan to stay
Friday through Sunday.
The second best way is to hit the festival with a plan. From testing a new
bike, pair of shoes, or SUP to grabbing
the perfect spot (and beer) to watch pro
BMXers, here are 10 things you want to
make sure you don't miss at GO Fest.
Some of the biggest names in the
outdoor industry will be on site with
gear for you to test out. Demo a bike,

sit in a kayak, or try on a new pair of
shoes. Pick the brains of experts in
hiking, biking, backpacking for the best
tips and techniques to make the most
of your next outing.
What began as a partnership between Roanoke Parks and Recreation
and Roanoke Outside as a way to
engage the outdoors community has
evolved into one of the premier outdoor festivals in the country. Don't
miss this weekend of fun that's hard
to find anywhere else; check out gear,
try something new, or just swing to
some live music.
