Throughout the community on Business 58, at the intersection with the Blue Ridge Parkway
The 6th Annual Meadows of Dan Folk Fair continues the tradition of showcasing the heritage of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Merchants and organizations throughout Meadows of Dan will be sponsoring demonstrations of heritage arts, music, and a play. The Meadows of Dan Folk Fair is held in association with the Virginia Peach Festival, sponsored by the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce, and ends a week of festival events.
As always, heritage music is a strong part of the Folk Fair, with popular local musicians and bands appearing all over town throughout the day and into the evening. A craft show will be featured at the Mountain Meadow Farm, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and located throughout town there will be heritage demonstrations of blacksmithing, wood-turning, chain-saw art, handspinning, and other heritage arts and crafts. A featured event is a local history play that usually centers on the Blue Ridge Mountains. A favorite with kids and adults alike is the ride through the charming country roads and fields of Meadows of Dan in the Belgian horse and wagon. Local peaches honoring the Virginia Peach Festival will also be for sale.
