The Roanoke GO Outside Festival is an annual event to encourage healthy, active outside recreation. By combining the things outdoor enthusiasts love – camping, music, gear, races, and demos all in a beautiful outdoor setting – GO Fest is a celebration of everything outdoors. Learn more on the festival website.

Clark BeCraft or Tonya Judd will contact all booth volunteers with instructions for greeting guests at the booth and activities at the booth. For event questions, please contact Horticulture Program Head Clark BeCraft at cbecraft@virginiawestern.edu.
