2016 Music Festivals: Red Wing Music Festival.

The fourth annual Red Wing Roots Music Festival is a really nice Virginia outdoor festival that is hosted by the band The Steel Wheels. It is predominantly a Bluegrass festival that features one of the new artists I just featured Sierra Hull. This event takes place the weekend after next on July 8th 9th and 10th.

Over on the Kinfolk Stage, you’ll find great music, dancing and awesome presentations for the children.
There are TONS of playgrounds and games and activities for them to do while you enjoy the music.

Ok I’m going to snatch this portion directly from their website:
Please be advised, Google Maps can send you to the wrong location! We are working to fix this, but in the meantime please use these GPS coordinates: 38.355792, -79.086199. You can also search by the address, 94 Natural Chimneys Ln, Mt Solon, VA 22843. If you search for Natural Chimneys Park or click on the marker for Natural Chimneys Park in Google Maps, you will be sent to the wrong location.
From the North or the South:

From Interstate-81, take Exit 240 toward Bridgewater. At the end of the ramp, turn onto VA-257 West/Friedens Church Rd toward Bridgewater and follow for 3.3 miles to stoplight at VA-42/Main St. Turn left at the stoplight and head south on VA-42 for 3.7 miles. Turn right onto Mossy Creek Rd (State Rte 613)*. Follow Mossy Creek Rd for 2.4 miles to the 4-way stop sign intersection in Mt Solon. Turn right onto Natural Chimneys Rd (VA-731) and follow for 0.6 miles to the entrance to Natural Chimneys Park, turning right onto Natural Chimneys Lane.
