Roanoke Arts Festival

Roanoke Arts Festival

Roanoke Arts Festival is an annual celebration of the arts featuring music, dance, theater, readings, film, visual and multi-media arts to pay tribute to the region’s rich arts and cultural heritage. The Roanoke Arts Festival began in 2007 with a four-day event that featured such artists as the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Judy Collins, Little Feat plus original plays, readings and concerts. The second annual Roanoke Arts Festival, re-timed this year to help celebrate the opening of the new Taubman Museum of Art, will be held Nov. 8-9 with free and ticketed performances and visual arts. The Roanoke Art Festival’s model of a city arts festival is the Edinburgh International Festival, Spoleto Festival USA and the Virginia Arts Festival. A third annual festival is planned for October 2009.
