Description:
Gobblerfest was first conceived in the fall of 2008 as a welcome festival for students, staff, faculty and members of the Blacksburg community. This free event has become a highlight of the start of the academic year. Gobblerfest is an excellent way for students to meet each other, explore common interests, and become a part of the Virginia Tech community, all in a healthy, alcohol-free setting.

Gobblerfest is a multitude of events and starts off with the Outdoor Festival in downtown Blacksburg along College Avenue and then continues with events on Virginia Tech's campus.

Also note NextThreeDays.com will have a booth setup for the Outdoor Festival so come by and say hi.
