Heritage Day Festival is back, bigger and better than ever before! With over 40 vendors including historical re-enactors and demonstrators, there is something for everyone at this street festival!

Live music headlined by the Jared Stout Band and a beer garden featuring a brand new beer in partnership with Iron Tree Brewing are among the new additions to the street festival while we also bring back many favorites like our beloved hay wagon!

Here is just some of what you can expect at this year’s Heritage Day festival:

Live Music:
Live music throughout the day including the Jared Stout Band from 11am-1pm. Other musicians include John and Kathie Hollandsworth, Leatherwood, and American Roots.

Brand New Beer Release:
Thanks to a partnership with Iron Tree Brewing, the museum is pleased to debut and feature a brand new beer that will be premiered exclusively at the festival. This first-time release is called the L&M Rifle Ale, inspired my local history right here in Montgomery County, VA. The name is inspired by the Lewis-McHenry Duel fought in Christiansburg in 1808.
