Twice a year, Southwest Virginia Museum Historical State Park hosts the WiseJAMS Music Program. The 12-week program teaches students how to play banjo, fiddle and guitar and celebrates the musical legacy deeply rooted in the Appalachian soil.

James River State Park is teaming up with Blue Ridge Overland Gear again for its annual Roof Top Tent Rally. The special event provides a unique opportunity to connect with fellow overlanders or explore the overlanding lifestyle for the first time.
