The much celebrated 2nd Annual Roanoke Arts Festival will be held this Saturday and Sunday, November 8-9.  The Festival coincides with the opening of the Taubman Museum of Art, which in and of itself is a gem of a facility to call the Roanoke Valley home.  There are so many events happening that you'll want to make sure you check out, you can see the full calendar of events here.  Some events are ticketed, make sure that you can get into the events you'd like to see!

Thanks to Stuart Mease for pushing this event as well.  The Roanoke and New River Valleys are truly unique in the opportunities they provide residents, be sure to take advantage of events like this!
