Floydfest Coming Right Up!


Floydfest, in Floyd, Va., is one of the nicest fests around. Happening the weekend of July 28, it has a beautiful site in the Blue Ridge Mountains with great stages, including a wonderful world music village. It is very family friendly, with child care (for a fee) and a cool kid's stage. The workshops are intimate.You can see my previous post on it here.

You should know: Tickets that allow you to park where you camp are sold out. You have to either camp at an off site campground they have set up or take all your stuff on a shuttle bus they run up to the fest site. From there, you have to haul it to wherever you can find to camp.

You can also find nearby cabins with a good web search.

One of my favorite acts I saw at Floydfest a few years ago -- and they will be playing this year -- is Cyro Baptista and Beat The Donkey. Here's a look at these crazy folks!
