Floyd Fest



Floyd Fest is a great celebration of life !

The event began in 2002, and spans four days each year with on-site camping and multiple stages featuring rock, bluegrass, reggae, folk, Yiddish, Cajun, and world music performers!

In addition to music, the festival features local arts and crafts, dance workshops, morning yoga lessons, story telling, poetry readings, and a Children's Universe tent.



Here is a promo for the Floyd Fest website! Be sure to check it out for more info on the artists that will be performing! www.floydfest.com



At FloydFest, we believe in the WHOLE SUM Festival experience- which is what makes our event more than just a music festival- it’s a total vacation package. Our beautiful Appalachian Mountain venue lends itself to breaking away between sets for a hike, bike ride, even a nearby float trip.cypfloydfest2013-39

Our Children’s Universe features performances, workshops, play equipment, and basically enough FUN STUFF to keep the kids entertained (and educated!) for four entire days.

The Healing Arts area offers ‘hands-on’ healing ranging from traditional massage to the more nuanced alternatives, as well as morning yoga classes and other natural refreshers.

The Teen Scene provides a space and outlet for our ‘rising adults’ to both get space and make healthy connections, and our Workshops and Panels are educational, informative and engaging platforms for the exchange of information and ideas.


Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

We are still fighting the ants with little success. I put out the glucose drops that contains poison and they just seem to party down! They looked sluggish the other day but now they are back to perfect circles around the stuff.

Maybe they are playing cards.

Until today the small species stayed clear of the large ones but I guess they either called a truce or they are good friends now. Both types are everywhere in the kitchen and bathroom.

I'm sure a manufacturer will come up with another fool proof method for getting rid of them. We are the fools that prove the pesticide works for a while and then the ants become immune to it!
