Produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and the Virginia Folklife Program
This year’s theme is “Maritime to Mountain Time: From Virginia’s Coast to Coalfields”. The Virginia Folklife area will highlight the culture of the watermen of the eastern shore and Chesapeake to include boat building, decoy carving crab trap building and oyster shucking. From the mountains in the western part of the state come mountain ballads, coal mining songs and mountain gospel from deep within Virginia’s coal fields. Visit the Virginia Folklife area to learn and celebrate the cultures of our state and check back here to see the descriptions and biographies of the individual craftsmen and musicians who will be attending.
