Well there are two stages set up on opposite ends of town and one stage at the gazebo in the park. The first stage is at the Expo Center this year and it referred to as the Mountain Dew Stage. There are GREAT local bands that play there. This year I know that Bypro Station will be there along with Downtrend and I think the William King Band along with some others. The second stage is located across from BB&T bank and features some local singers, not really bands such as the Big Sandy Singers or other local solo acts. The gazebo in the park is all bluegrass, all the time. There are carnival rides. There are rock walls climbs. Great food. Just a little bit of everything. The Army is there giving away free stuff for doing push ups, chin ups, etc. In the bottom level of the parking garage is all vendors set up with merchandise. Those have mostly crafts, collectibles, do it yourself stuff, clothes, etc. The food vendors are along Hambley Blv., Main Street, and a few others. Vendors not in the parking garage offer t-shirts, stickers, etc. I don't really know what else to tell you. Grab a bunch of your friends and come walk around at least one day. It's a great time.
