Adventures in the New River Valley: Radford Highlanders Festival

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS!

The Radford Highlanders Festival is BACK for 2022!

October 8, 2022 – Main Campus of Radford University
9:00 am to 5:00 pm

The Radford Highlanders Festival has grown into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.

The festival began in the mid-1990s with an approximate crowd of 3,000. Over the past 25 years, the festival has more than tripled in size, and now attracts an estimated crowd of 10,000 people. Whether a family’s background is of Scots-Irish origin or of other descent, the day always brings with it an air of excitement and anticipation. There is no place more beautiful than Southwest Virginia in autumn and the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a beautiful back-drop for the fall festival.

Join us for:

  • The famed heavyweight games
  • Sheepherding
  • Live entertainment
  • Food!
  • Vendors and festivities for all ages

The festival is in partnership between Radford University and the City of Radford, VA.

Open to the public and FREE admission!
