11am-2pm – The Wilderness Road Chorus is composed of women of all ages who love to sing four-part harmony, a cappella, barbershop-style musical arrangements. Their director is Lavelva Stevens. Their mission is to share their joy of singing--whether it be a 50s pop tune, patriotic medley, or down-home spiritual--to a wide variety of audiences in the New River Valley.
Enjoy 6 weekends (Thu-Sun) Sept 23 - Oct 30 jam-packed with activities, music, food, and fun for the whole family. Hayrides to a 10-acre pumpkin patch, make your way through a mind boggling 5 acre corn maze, and visit with Sinkland's farm animals. We feature Ride-a-Rescue horseback trail rides, pony rides, a huge kid’s zone with a barrel train ride, giant slide, kids zip line and many games. Kids of all ages can see tractors and our other farm equipment. Have your face painter design a specialty to wear throughout the day. Look for the Scarecrow around the farm!
Everyone always enjoys Sinkland's entertainment such as blacksmith demonstrations, local live music, and A capella groups while sipping adult beverages on the terrace. You can watch pig racing, try your luck at our famous Bad AXE Throw and feast with local food trucks. The festival grounds include the area's most noted Arts & Crafts vendors and Pop-up Boutiques.
