In 2014, Rooster Walk 6 drew more than 5,000 music lovers to hear 35 performers on three different stages. The festival has grown so much that it made Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine’s list of top 10 summer fests, which includes FloydFest, Bonaroo and Bristol Rhythm and Roots, for readers in their area that reaches from Maryland to Georgia.
The family-friendly Rooster Walk, which features on-site camping, food vendors, music workshops and kids’ activities, also won first place in the Virginia Living magazine’s third annual “Best of Virginia” contest as the best charity event.
