Floydfest 6 - July 26-29, 2007

Come July, I can always feel the magnetic pull of Floydfest World Music & Arts festival; 2007 was no different. The journey down the Blue Ridge Parkway is glorious; lush green trees atop majestic mountains usher you into one of the most peaceful and inspiring weekends of the summer. The sky looked a bit iffy, so I prayed for sunlight to bless the fine folks who have worked for months and months to provide this magical experience for music lovers. Each time we stopped for gas we saw a pack of our Floydfest friends on their journey; it feels great to be a part of the family!

Like always, friendly volunteers greeted us and saw us to our campsite. When there was a bit of confusion with our check-in, one of the staff members went out of her way to accommodate us. To me, this embodies the festival spirit.
