Welcome to the Heart of Virginia and the festival that celebrates our life in Southside Virginia. This year is special in that it marks the 25th anniversary of this celebration. That's two and a half decades, 25 complete revolutions around the sun.

In Southside, we are surrounded by anniversaries of achievement at every turn and they serve as great opportunities for reunions of friends and family. Today while you peruse the craft displays, admire fine art, dance to the beat in the street, or savor any of the great cuisine available, think of where you were on that first Heart of Virginia Festival, or the first one you experienced’ ...how far we have come. Reminisce about our past, but don't forget our future as next year we will stand on the precipice of another momentous occasion’ - Prince Edward County's 250th anniversary!
