Travel back in time to an era when Lynchburg, Virginia was the center of the trade route between East and West.

A fleet of flat-bottom boats, called Batteaux, filled the James River transporting tobacco and other goods to Richmond and bringing prosperity to our region.

More than 20,000 festivalgoers enjoyed this two day festival in 2006. Check back with us often as plans take shape for 2007.
