Crooked Road Festival

For generations, our Appalachian communities have produced an abundance of extraordinary traditional musicians. They are the keepers of an historic musical legacy from colonial times and have created and passed on old-time, bluegrass, and mountain gospel sounds that have influenced the development of American music.

The Crooked Road Festival—Wednesday, March 19 through Sunday, March 23—is presented by the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech, the Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, and Montgomery County Regional Tourism Office. Funding is provided by Virginia Tourism Corporation and the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
