It's a treasure of pirate-themed kids crafts and entertainment at Festival in the Park - click here for more information

Can you believe the 39th annual Festival in the Park (and the unofficial start of summer here in the Roanoke Valley) is just around the corner. And do we have a great Memorial Day weekend shaping up! 5 nights of great concerts and 3 days of FREE family fun. We've got old favorites and new twists so be certain to check out all the activities listed throughout the weekend and make your plans to spend at least a part of your holiday with us in the heart of downtown Roanoke. And what about the concert lineup - boy if you can't find a concert (or two) to get you excited you just don't like live music. And the great news is the Jumbotron screen is back again this year so every spot in Elmwood Park is a great place to enjoy the concerts.

To enhance and promote the visual and performing arts and sports activities in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas, to generate a positive economic impact on the Valley, and to fund an Arts Scholarship Program.

I am honored to serve as President during our 39th annual celebration of the arts, music and family. In five short days, Festival packs a huge punch. For your 'sneak preview' - musically, we're having a rock legend, a country super group, a Tina Turner Show tribute band, one of the finalists from last year's American Idol, and a good-looking country star who has topped the charts with several hits. Also, returning is the ever popular 1964: The Tribute. Each and every night is packed full of top notch entertainment - be sure to browse our web site for all the details.

During the daytime hours - you'll have to strategically plan everything you want to see and do, or you'll run out of time. Do not miss the living statue (new this year) it is amazing! See a poodle show and visit the Antique Car Show. The children's area will have a "Pirate" theme complete with Jack Sparrow making balloon hats, animals, magic and juggling. You'll want to buy a hand-crafted item from the Verizon Yellow Pages Fine Art & Craft Show, visit the Youth Art Show (be sure to vote for your favorite while there) and see the African Trickster puppet show. Or you could just relax on the ground, eat yummy food and listen to the wonderful local and regional talent found on our five performing arts stages.
