SUMMARY:Ferrum College Blue Ridge Folklife Festival and Arts & Crafts Show
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the longest-running folklife festival in western Virginia! Since 1973\, the Blue Ridge Folklife Festival has presented authentic regional folk music\, craftspeople\, draft horse and dog handlers\, car builders\, tractor restorers\, country cooks\, moonshine tale tellers\, and much more! \nAlways the fourth Saturday in October\, this legendary festival is coordinated by the Blue Ridge Institute & Museum (BRIM)\, the official State Center for Blue Ridge Folklore and a major venue on The Crooked Road Music Trail. \nCelebrating the rich heritage and traditions of the Blue Ridge region\, this year’s festival will offer a full day of live entertainment\, traditional demonstrations\, handcrafted arts\, and family-friendly activities\, while introducing new artisans\, interactive experiences\, and expanded attractions. In a new arts and crafts show\, more than 100 artisans will offer handmade jewelry\, folk art\, woodworking\, pottery\, textiles\, and other unique creations. \nGuests can also enjoy moonshine tastings with Five Mile Mountain Distillery and relax in the beer and wine garden. Traditional foods such as country ham biscuits and fried apple pies are always popular at the festival. \nFor Ferrum College alumni\, this year’s festival will include an alumni breakfast and a lounge area inside Franklin Hall off the patio\, instead of a tent outside. The Office of Alumni and Family Relations will provide details in upcoming publicity and the college website Alumni pages. Click here for alumni breakfast registration.
