In 2018, the first year of the Blue Ridge Fiber Fest, the organizers attracted 750 people on Saturday and 325 people on Sunday, to a tiny town in the mountains of Alleghany County. Many of our vendors expressed their desire to "make a vacation of it" next year, because of the beautiful area, the many opportunities for recreation and the hospitality of the townsfolk.
In 2019, the second year of the Blue Ridge Fiber Fest, people came in droves in the pouring rain (over both days). No “official” count is available for 2019 - we are still learning and perfecting our organization.
We expect our numbers to grow in 2022.
