Through a nomination process, Southeast Tourism Society chooses the Top 20 events in the Southeast for each month of the year and publishes this list of winners quarterly. The Top 20 Events publication is sent to over 1,600 newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations, AAA publications and others.

We’d like to thank David Mikula, president of local creative firm Inprint Inc. for nominating Festival in the Park.
This is Who We Had at 2010 Festival in the Park!
To enhance and promote the visual and performing
arts and sports activities in the Roanoke Valley
and surrounding areas, to generate a positive economic
impact on the Valley, and to fund an
Arts Scholarship Program.
 We are so excited that once again we get to see everyone’s smiling faces as we kick off the 41st Annual Festival in the Park, May 28th-31st.Our festival has won numerous Awards in the last several years, including 2009’s Best in the City Award and Roanoker Magazine’s Best Festival Award. How wonderful is it that one four-day event packs so much punch! Four nights of great entertainment from National acts, Fine Arts and Crafts, 5K/10K race, Antique Car Show, and let’s not forget all the activities and attractions in the Kids Area, especially the fireman’s foam. You may even want to check out the Product and Service Expos or stop by one of our great food vendors and grab an ice cold smoothie or an always delicious hot funnel cake. We’re sure to have something for everyone.
Once again, I can’t wait to see you all at what I hope to be once again Roanoke’s Best Annual Festival. Check out a schedule of events, or leave us feedback at www.EventZone.org
Thanks!
