The Roanoker - January/February 2019 - 36

With more than 80 properties in Roanoke's city and
county systems, there's a perfect park for every outing.
A few standouts: Countryside Park (newcomer offering
fun surprises like musical features and an electronic
light-up game; connects to the Lick Run Greenway), Fishburn Park (large

meandering property with playgrounds, creek access, disc golf course and
beginner mountain bike trails; connects to Murray Run Greenway), Green
Hill Park (find ball fields, walking trails, fishing and river swimming,
plus events like the Blue Ridge Kite Festival; connects to Roanoke River
Greenway) and South County Library Trail System (boardwalk over
wetlands offers a new view; connects to top-notch playgrounds at Starkey
Park and Penn Forest Elementary School).

PLANS FOR A
WINNING NEW YEAR?
INCLUDE THESE
Events ON YOUR LIST.
Our area offers oodles of can't-miss festivals and outings.

#37
SLIP ON YOUR SKATES.
Once upon a time, there was nowhere to ice skate in Roanoke;
now there are three rinks. From November through January,
the Berglund Center freezes its arena for minor league hockey
team Rail Yard Dawgs ; on Sundays and Wednesdays it's the
public's turn. From Thanksgiving through January, skate outside
at Roanoke's Elmwood Park rink . New in 2018, Lancerlot
Sports Complex in Vinton offers year-round skating to the
public. Rental skates are available at each location.

#39

EXPERIENCE
MUSICAL MAGIC.

Five days. Eight stages. All the yoga , vegan
bowls and shower lines you can stand. There

will be stunning nighttime spectacles and
arguably the best bands ever brought together in one place.
After 17 years, FloydFest has become an institution that
attracts headliners like Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile and Old
Crow Medicine Show, as well as giving voice to openers on the
On the Rise stage. Around these parts, there's nothing like it.

#38

Local Colors Festival

CELEBRATE DIVERSITY.
The year was 1991. The city of
Roanoke sponsored a festival
to recognize its international
population ; four countries were
represented. Fast forward to today.
More than 100 countries will be
featured in the now-annual Local

36

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

Colors event, with upwards of
20,000 expected in attendance

this May. Look for a kick-off parade
at 11 a.m., then performances,
vendors, ethnic food and children's
activities - all free - at Elmwood
Park until 5 p.m.

TAILGATE THE
DAY AWAY.

#40

Virginia Tech
Football

On just about every Southwest
Virginian's bucket list is a football
game in Lane Stadium . Parking lots at
Virginia Tech open at 7 a.m. no matter
the kickoff hour. Bring your crockpot,
your cooler, your pop-up tent and hang
out with thousands of Hokie fans. There's
a "Hokie Talk" at 9:30 at the Alumni
Center and the marching band stops by
to serenade diehards. All this before team
even sets foot on turf.
