Mid-Summer Fantasy Festival
This family-friendly performance art spectacle is made up of equal parts Shakespeare, rock and roll, pixie dust, and mystery. Wood sprites and pirates welcome.

The Garage
This shining example of reclaimed urban space demonstrates the transformative power of public art and collective community action—all in a structure no bigger than a carport.

For this urban taproom, the name of the game is small batches and inventive recipes—plus a mad scramble to keep ahead of an army of thirsty beer enthusiasts.

Old Time Fiddlers Convention
Deep in the hills of rural Virginia, a migratory community of traditional musicians congregate to keep the old ways alive (and win bragging rights).
