2024 Festivals & Events Guide

Balloons Over Rockbridge, July 6-7, Lexington, Virginia.

Please note: While every effort is made to verify event listings, many of the events listed here were submitted prior to the impact of Hurricane Helene. Much of the Blue Ridge region is still recovering, and due to logistical limitations we are unable to reconfirm the details for many of these events. We strongly recommend you check ahead with individual events before planning to attend.
