​​Mark your calendar for the Floyd Living Traditions Festival on August 24, 10am to 6pm. The event kicks off Friday, August 23 at 6:00 with a live Appalachian storyteller at the June Bug Center! We're partnering the Handmade Music School to showcase traditional Floyd County arts on FCA's campus. The festival will be your chance to witness the magic of basket making, quilting, spinning, weaving, instrument making, blacksmithing, woodworking, dance and music!
