Page County Heritage Festival

First held in 1970, the annual fall festival is one of the oldest arts and crafts shows of its kind in Virginia. Since launching half a century ago, the two-day event — held each October over Columbus Day weekend — has grown to include dozens of crafters and artisans from throughout Virginia and the Valley.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy food, entertainment, activities, and dozens of demonstrations, with many dressed to reflect Page Valley’s olden days. Demonstrations include farm work from Page’s early years, including log sawing, wheat thrashing, corn husking, and hay bailing.

Event-goers can choose from tasty selections ranging from sweet treats like dumplings and donuts to savory selections such as pulled pork, country ham, and cornbread.
