76th Annual Lee County Tobacco Festival
October 26 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Lee County Tobacco Festival was established in 1949 to celebrate the harvest of the area’s tobacco crop. It is the longest running tobacco festival in the state of Virginia. It is also Lee County’s oldest annual parade. This year we will celebrate the 76th year of the festival. Throughout the years the festival was hosted by various community organizations, but beginning in 2012 a tax exempt 501 non-profit organization was formed. Friends of the Tobacco Festival was founded to preserve the festival’s heritage and ensure it’s future continuance. It offers live music, crafts vendors, food trucks and much more. The festival always planned for the 4th Saturday in October.
