Plan a trip to the Valley-See the Changing Colors and Enjoy the Festival.

The Page County Heritage Festival is a two-day annual event which is always held on the Columbus Day observed weekend, in October. First held in 1969, it is one of the oldest such arts and crafts shows in Virginia.

Attendance has grown to over 10,000 with more than 175 crafters and artists from throughout Virginia and nearby states.

Craft demonstrations range from quilt making, woodworking, great wheel spinning, basket weaving, soap making, and original paintings, to apple butter boiling and apple cider pressing.

The Antique Tractor Steam and Gas Engine Show is one of the largest in the Shenandoah Valley, and features a large number of demonstrations of farm work from the county's early days using steam equipment for wheat thrashing, log sawing, straw baling, and making shingles and sorghum molasses.

Food is Bountiful! Choose from dozens of home-made selections. Other favorite events include mule train rides, face painting, and a variety of live entertainment featuring bands, cloggers, and shows.
