Reviews
FloydFest
Voted "Best Large Music Venue in Southwestern Virginia" by Virginia Living
FloydFest '04
"Some larger festivals boast a similar peace, love and music philosophy, but Floyd actually lives it, not just for one weekend, but throughout the entire year."
FloydFest '05
"Floyd sits in a timeless, beautiful section of Virginia, far enough from bigger cities like Roanoke and Danville to feel like it's truly in the middle of nowhere."
"The only thing constant on the festival grounds was the flow of culturally powerful music and mud covered feet."
FloydFest '08
"Floydfest is an epicenter of culture for Southwest Virginia" - VA Senator, Mark Warner
