The New River Valley Fair features sone of the best nightly entertainment of the summer including some of your favorite carnival rides from Cole Shows, a huge variety of fair foods, competitive exhibits, agricultural activities, Buffalo Beals Petting Zoo and much more! Enjoy six days of fun at the New River Valley Fair, a true country fair since 1872.

Tuesday features the Horse Pull in the Main Arena and a concert from The Java Brothers both of which are included with general admission to the Fair.

The Java Brothers bluegrass band was born out of Radford’s Monday Night Fiddle & Banjo Jam. The Java Brothers mix standard bluegrass and newgrass with fiery original tunes in their live shows. They are progressive, but pretty much only to the extent that they'll play new songs as hard driving bluegrass with some rock 'n roll vibes.

Their musical influences include Bill Monroe, Stanley Brothers, Jimmy Martin, Old and In the Way, The Seldom Scene, Sam Bush, Tony Rice, JD Crowe, The Country Gentlemen, The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Doyle Lawson.

The Java Brothers have become Radford’s house band however they’ve played dances, festivals, brew pubs, and church services all over Southwest Virginia.
