  • Galax has a vibrant downtown with shops, galleries and restaurants. The restored Rex Theater's weekly radio show, "Blue Ridge Backroads Live," beams old time and bluegrass music to four states and over 40 countries. The yearly Old Fiddlers Convention, held in August since 1935, brings thousands of musicians and dancers to Felts Park for a week of on-stage competition and campground jams.
    Nearby on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway is the Blue Ridge Music Center, with an outdoor amphitheater, museum and luthier shop with Saturday music performances spring through fall.
    New River Trail State Park begins on Chestnut Creek near the center of town, with 39 miles of biking, hiking and cycling along the New River.

    This is an awesome introduction to Galax summed up in a short time...this place is so worth spending the time during the fiddlers convention.

    Thank you for this post. We recently visited Galax after seeing your film and had a wonderful stay. True quality of life has very subtle measures. For me, Galax had a welcoming, non-touristy feel that made it my favourite stop in our road-trip. We worked off excellent BBQ on an early morning bike-ride and watched the sun set over the mountains - heaven. Now back in the Netherlands trying to figure out how to make smoked mash potato! This clip is a very true picture of a wonderful town.

    Been there and seen it. Tourism has brought economic vitality and cultural destruction to the appalachians.
