The festival affords West Virginia the opportunity to share information about the important role our state’s natural resources play in our economy and it’s development. Rich in tradition, the Festival also plays a major role in the economy and offers something for everyone to enjoy, such as, headline concerts and music shows, lumberjack competition, forestry & wood exhibits, juried art show, photography exhibit, quilt show, arts and crafts, amusement rides, parades and the Royal Coronation of Queen Silvia.
