Culinary delights are in the works for all the foodies out there from Deschutes Brewery’s Corporate Executive Chef, Jeff Usinowicz, who is teaming up with Roanoke locals Chef Aaron Deal from River & Rail and Chef TJ Daveldek from Lucky.

Local and regional live music from Swift Technique, Funky Dawgz Brass Band, Low Low Chariot, Monster Atlantic, Dharma Bombs, Place Called Home and more will keep everyone moving to the beat from two stages.

About Roanoke Outside Foundation
The Roanoke Regional Partnership created Roanoke Outside to showcase why the Roanoke, Virginia, Region is one of the best outdoor communities in the United States. In 2013, with the support of the Partnership, the Roanoke Outside Foundation was officially formed as a 501(c)3 charitable organization. It is our mission to make outdoor activity and environmental stewardship a core component of our community’s lifestyle. We started RoanokeOutside.com, Get Outside Weekend Update, Blue Ridge Marathon, and GO Outside Fest, and most recently built a kayak launch to the Roanoke River. Plus, we’ve been the advocate for the many changes that are making this place more awesome than ever. We’ve got plans for even more exciting events and facilities. And you can be a part of it all.

About Pathfinders for Greenways
We are the volunteers who have worked for 20 years to encourage development of the Roanoke Valley Greenway network. What does it take? Attending public meetings, raising money, clearing brush and hauling rocks, developing web sites, giving a little, giving a lot. We have focused on finding greenway and trail routes and have become the trail building experts in the region, working at Carvins Cove, Mill Mountain, Read Mountain, and every other place you like to hike or bike. We’ve donated over 5000 hours a year to building trails, year after year, and we’ve helped write the trail plans and train the volunteers. Whether you prefer to get dirty with trail building, to put your talents to work using a pen and paper, to work behind the scenes, to raise your voice in public, or just to use the greenways for a walk in the evening, there is a place for you in growing the greenway network.

About Blue Ridge Land Conservancy
We save land! The Blue Ridge Land Conservancy works with local landowners to save southwest Virginia’s most special places—farms, forests, mountainsides, rivers and streams, scenic views and wildlife habitat. We partner with local school systems to get kids’ feet wet and their hands dirty with educational field trips on conserved land. And we sponsor an annual Outdoor Adventure Series to help local families enjoy our great outdoors. Founded in 1996, the Roanoke-based Blue Ridge Land Conservancy protects over 17,000 acres of land and more than 44 miles of rivers and streams in the region. Learn more at brlcva.org.

About Deschutes Brewery
Family and employee owned since 1988, Deschutes Brewery – Bend’s original brewpub – has become the cornerstone of Central Oregon’s flourishing craft brew culture. Known for its generous use of whole hops in its defining beers such as Black Butte Porter, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, and Fresh Squeezed IPA, the brewery also keeps fans on the edge of their bar stools with the release of small batch experimental beers each season. Now available in 29 states and Washington D.C., Deschutes’ flagship brewpub has been joined by a main brewing facility overlooking the Deschutes River in Bend, a pub in Portland, and coming in 2021, a new east coast brewery in Roanoke, Virginia. www.deschutesbrewery.com
