Floyd Living Traditions Festival & Kickoff Event

Known for its bluegrass and old-time music, along with a lively arts scene, Floyd, Virginia, will celebrate its rich artistic heritage on Saturday, August 24, 2024, with the Floyd Living Traditions Festival. The festival, hosted by the Floyd Center for the Arts in partnership with the Floyd Country Store’s Handmade Music School, will feature music on two stages and fun for the whole family. More than 70 artists will be on hand to perform, offer works for sale, and demonstrate Floyd traditions such as quilting, spinning, instrument making, weaving, blacksmithing, woodworking, and basketmaking. Food trucks, an outdoor beer garden, kids activities, and opportunities to learn and create firsthand await! Saturday’s all-day event takes place both inside and out at the dairy barn campus of the Floyd Center for the Arts located at 220 Parkway Lane South (VA-8) on the edge of downtown. Admission to the festival is free on Saturday. For more information about the two-day festival and tickets to Friday’s kickoff event August 23rd 6p at the June Bug Center can be found at www.floydartcenter.org
