Who is Smithfield VA Events?
Smithfield VA Events was a vision a decade ago, and we held our first festival in 2012. The concept was to utilize the new Windsor Castle Park and it’s beautiful historic grounds as a backdrop to create something special that would benefit the community. Since then, we have proudly donated over a million dollars back to our community. Our festivals have grown from our signature spring Wine & Brew Fest to the current Trio of Festivals that include the fall Bacon & Bourbon Fest and the funky-fun oyster BOB Fest in January. We have held (21) total festivals over the past nine seasons and donated to over $1.2 MILLION DOLLARS TO OVER (90) organizations. We select benefiting organizations each year, donate back to groups that volunteer, make donations on behalf of individuals who volunteer to their favorite charity and support other’s fundraisers by donating tickets, tables and chalets for them to use to raise funds at their own events. The funds donated to all of these organizations assist them in fulfilling their important missions & causes that benefit the community.
Smithfield VA Events is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization that is managed by an all volunteer board of directors and operates as an independent self-supported organization.

HOW DO WE GIVE BACk to the community?
The proceeds from our (3) festivals enable us to annually donate about $225,000 to over 60 local organizations. As of the 2020 BOB Fest, (our last fest P.C, (pre-covid) event, SVAE had donated back $1.2 million dollars. The organizations we support then go out and “do their good” by impacting the community with their own missions and causes. SVAE also has an estimated $1 million dollars in annual economic impact to the local business community.
WHY SHOULD YOU SUPPORT US?
Even if you don't attend our festivals, you can support our mission. Besides making substantial donations, we also fund our overall operation as a non-profit. It will take us a couple years to fully recover from the financial impact of the covid pandemic. We are also dealing with new insurance rules and increased cost of production. What we do for the community is extraordinary, and we ask that you consider supporting us by making a direct donation to us. Donations given thru the Sustainer Society will help us off-set our overhead operational expenses .
WHO DO WE DONATE TO?
Overall through the years, we have supported over 90+ different charitable organizations. Some of them are grant receipents as a Benefiting Organization, an organization that volunteers for our events or a charitable cause picked by our SuperStar Volunteers or our Board Members that they volunteer to support.
