The Festival Committee mourns the loss of a long-time festival leader, Charles Garrett, who passed away April 27th. We will always remember Charles’ tenacious attitude to ensure that everyone carried forward the festival activities “just like he would and had done for over 50 years”. His passion and dedication for the Railroad Festival is sincerely appreciated and will not be forgotten.
If you have a committed interest in Appomattox and want to participate, you can share your knowledge and talents by serving on one of the planning committees:
Held the second full weekend in October, this festival commemorates the Norfolk & Western Railroad’s donation of the Appomattox Depot to the Town of Appomattox in 1973.
To provide a family-friendly and collaborative festival to enhance the heritage and history of Appomattox County and its citizens.
We will ensure the festival is a time for the community to come together, while giving back to the community through scholarships, community outreach and partnerships with local business owners and other non-profits.
