Our Trio of Festivals - Overview

Our season kicks off in October with the Bacon & Bourbon Fest, followed in January with the BOB Fest & 8K Chilly BOB Roadrace, and ends with the April Wine & Brew Fest. Proceeds from the festivals are donated to benefiting organizations that are selected thru an application process and donations are also made to over (60) volunteer groups.  Annually we donated over $225,000 back into the community,

All festivals have sponsorship opportunities, private party chalets, reserved tables and individual general admission tickets. Local hotels also have tickets you can add to your reservation if you want to make a weekend enjoying all that Genuine Smithfield has to offer. 

Each festival has a limited number of private party chalets and once you have one, you have renewal rights for the next year. Chalets & Tables are great ways to entertain clients, celebrate a special occasion or just gather with a group of friends.
All of our festivals are 21 & UP only, no infants, no pets permitted. See all rules, health & safety, and refund policies by visiting our FAQ'S page.
All Sponsorships are renewable for the next year.  Once we finish the renewal process, we then offer to folks on our wait list. If you are interested in one, please contact us at Gina@SmithfieldVAEvents.com
