RW named best ‘Underground Festival’ in mid-Atlantic & Southeast!!!

The Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival was named the best “Underground Festival” in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast in the latest edition of Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine.

The magazine described “Underground Festivals” as events that “may fly under the radar, but not for long.”

Rooster Walk, set for May 23-26 at Blue Mountain Festival Grounds, beat out festivals from states such as Georgia, Ohio and North Carolina to earn the honor.

“Organizers host this growing event at the Blue Mountain Festival Grounds to commemorate the lives of two lost friends,” stated the magazine article. “If you find huge crowds to be a drag, consider this low-key weekend that features an impressive line-up of roots music held in the scenic foothills of Martinsville—a former furniture mecca making a comeback through arts and outdoor rec.”
