Join the Floyd Center for the Arts for the 4th Annual Floyd Living Traditions Festival, a free, all-day celebration of Floyd County’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.
Presented in partnership with the Floyd Country Store’s Handmade Music School, the festival brings together artists, musicians, tradition bearers, and community organizations for a day filled with live music and dance, traditional craft demonstrations, hands-on activities, exhibitions, artisan vendors, local food, workshops, and interactive experiences for all ages.
Visitors will experience the living traditions that make Floyd unique, from blacksmithing, quilting, woodworking, fiber arts, and pottery to old-time music, storytelling, and Appalachian dance. Whether you’re discovering these traditions for the first time or reconnecting with familiar ones, the festival offers a welcoming opportunity to celebrate the creativity and culture of our region.
Kick off the weekend on Friday, August 21, at the Floyd Country Store’s Friday Night Jamboree, the official pre-festival celebration featuring an evening of traditional Appalachian music and community.
