Across-the-Way Productions is thrilled to announce the initial artist line-up to what has become known as the ‘Shangri-La of the East’. Emerging into its 12th year, FloydFest, the premiere music, outdoor, and art festival is wowing fans again with a stellar multi-genre line-up and new unique festivities. Themed Rise & Shine, the 12th annual FloydFest will take place July 25-28, 2013.
Driven to be the best music festival experience of our time, FloydFest is committed to selling a limited quantity of tickets to the highest quality event experience, bar none, celebrating music, art, and life in an intimate visually stunning environment.
New additions to this year’s FloydFest include the Flower of Life Yoga and DJ Xperience. This one-of-a-kind installation will feature morning Yoga sessions with some of the world’s leading DJs to provide an exquisite soundscape to Rise & Shine to. The space also provides shade and workshop areas throughout each day to liven the spirit. After dark this space will transform into a supernaturally lit performance area. The music will be provided via wireless headphones by cutting edge electronic DJ specialists by way of a 'Silent Disco powered by Silent Events'.
Far more than a music festival, FloydFest offers patrons not only a harmonious experience in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, but a 4-day long opportunity to enjoy a magnitude of pleasantries the beautiful area has to offer. Located at milepost 170.5 off the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway, festival attendees can recharge with outdoor activities including hiking and biking trails, a 5k run, mountain bike race, guided rafting and river tours, a 9 hole disc golf course, a geo-cache scavenger hunt and more.
A mystic experience with boundless opportunities, FloydFest also offers over 100 performing artists on 10 stages, with over 100 artisans, specialty craft beverages, a Healing Arts Village and Children’s Universe with an extensive children’s area. Festival goers can enjoy an intimate performance on the rustic and Appalachian-influenced Virginia Folklife Workshop Porch. Afterwards they can attend a nearby panel discussion on sustainable practices that engage the audience onlookers and includes renowned speakers and activists, headlining artists, and festival promoters. Rejuvenate and relax by joining in a belly dancing or hula dancing workshop or experience an incredible massage. Possibilities for festival bliss are endless!
