Beat the heat and the summer doldrums at this year’s Page Valley Fair. For one week in August, the beautiful valley between the Blue Ridge and Massanutten will be filled with amusement rides, contests, food and fun for the whole family. There will be contests of all kinds, including a lawn mower race and food pantry bingo on Sunday, a karaoke contest starting Monday with a winner’s round on Friday, and even a truck/tractor pull on Tuesday. The competition will be friendly and the entertainment endless, featuring performances by the Star Family Circus and a number of live bands each night, all leading up to the Twisted K Ranch Rodeo at the end of the week. Plan a day or two, or take the whole week to ride the rides and enjoy the shows with your family at the Page Valley Fair.

Journey to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and watch the saga unfold for our 10th Annual International Triathlon and Luray Sprint. On the 20th athletes start the International Triathlon with a loop swim in Lake Arrowhead, then continue 41 kilometers on bike through the woods of the Shenandoah Valley, followed by a 10 kilometer run through the hills of Page County.
The next day, the Luray Sprint Triathlon takes place, consisting of one loop in Lake Arrowhead, a 27 kilometer bike ride, and a 5 kilometer run to the finish line. Athletes also have the option of doing an AquaBike race that includes the swim and bike portions only.

October 8th and 9th mark the peak fall foliage season, and Page County celebrates this year with the 47th Annual Heritage Festival. It’s the perfect opportunity for the family to come together and take in the changing colors and the crisp air of the season. Ignite your creativity as hundreds of crafters display their skills, with all-day demonstrations of spinning, crocheting, apple-butter boiling, tole and oil painting, wheel-thrown pottery, blacksmithing and other traditional handiwork. Join us for the festivities in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley as we embrace the coming of chilly weather and celebrate the heritage of Virginia. For more information, visit here
