Blue Ridge Country - July/August 2019 - 37
SPONSORED CONTENT
MUSIC MECCA IN
PATRICK
COUNTY
It's an open secret that exposes
a greater truth: FloydFest, the
19-year-old world music and
arts festival held annually in the
beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, is
held not in Floyd County after all,
but in neighboring Patrick County.
T
he fact that FloydFest, which has built
an international reputation for its
gorgeous mountain setting, enthusiastic
audiences and world-renowned performers,
takes place in Patrick County shouldn't
actually be a surprise, given the county's
long history as a mountain music mecca.
FloydFest, July 24-28, may stand out in
terms of size, but it's hardly the only major
fest happening this summer in Patrick
County, where Virginia's Blue Ridge meets
the Piedmont. The Meadows of Dan Folk
Fair, on August 19, shows off the arts,
crafts and eats of a small mountain town
whose roots run deep. Since 2005, the
fair has enchanted visitors with horse-
drawn rides, the performance of a play,
several music venues, old-time craft
demonstrations, a fudge factory, peanutbutter making with a copper kettle, and
children's activities. The fair's scheduling in
late summer coincides with boomtime for
Patrick County's famous peaches, which are
featured in pies, ice cream and more. Labor
Day weekend marks the 11th annual Front
Porch Fest, a 4-day family-friendly music
festival held outside Stuart at Spirithaven
Farm. Front Porch Fest showcases more
than 30 local, regional, and national
touring acts, plus an array of children's
activities, yoga, on-site camping, campsite
jams, delicious craft brews, food and more.
