9:00am - 5:00pm (Rain or Shine!)
Come celebrate history, culture, and tradition with the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg at the Kiwanis Wilderness Trail Festival.
2010 marks the 37th anniversary of the Kiwanis Wilderness Trail Festival and the second year with the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg as the managing organization. The festival is always a full day of fun and excitement for the entire family loaded with great local artisans and crafters, Blue Ridge Model A's Car Cruise In, children's area, craft demonstrators, and delicious food from area restaurants and other local vendors.
Check out the live entertainment from 9:00am to 5:00pm on the Main Stage. In past years, local acts such as Dancer's Dreams, VA Techniques, Henry's TaeKwon-Do, Mike Petersen's Kempo Karate, Sapphire Ballroom & Dance Center, and Pizza Inn's Annual Pizza Eating Contest at noon have filled the stage along with live music from the Christiansburg High School Chamber Ensemble.
Visit the town square to see historical dueling re-enactments or pull up a chair while storytellers tell you tales of Southwest Virginia from years past.
Be sure to look out for the 2nd Annual Wilderness Trail Festival Silent Auction. As the festival nears, check the website weekly to see what items we will be auctioning. All silent auction proceeds will support local children's programs.
The Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg is proud to be the managing organization for the Wilderness Trail Festival and with feedback from the community and the 2009 vendors, we are looking forward to improving the festival.
About the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg
What is Kiwanis?
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.
This year, the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg celebrates 60 years of service to our local community. This includes development of Kiwanis Park and starting a recreation program for Christiansburg. Over the years, Kiwanis raised funds and provided labor support to many youth organizations including: Boy Scouts, Red Cross, school safety patrol, Girls and Boys State, sand lot programs, Christmas celebrations for local children in need and recently initiating and supporting the Head Start back pack program. The main focus of our club is to support youth activities in our community.
