This festival is a one day event which features crafters from throughout the region. It is held at Radford University on the Heth lawn and often coincides with Radford University's Family Fall Festival Events. Crafters from various localities, with various talents join us each year. Each represents and demonstrates some craft that has been practiced in Appalachia in the past, and in many instances continues today. Some example of our crafters are blacksmithing, pottery makers, quilters, a pencil artist, beekeepers, a basket weaver, a maker of cornhusk dolls, instrument makers, and more.
Crafters have stationary displays as well as items for sale.
In addition to crafters, we bring several performers to the Festival each year. Like our crafters, these performers have a wide range of talents. We've had traditional music, Celtic, and Bluegrass. Each band brings its own style and everyone is bound to find something they like. Music is not the only entertainment provided during the day.
