2020 Festival CANCELED
Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of the Historic Appomattox Railroad Festival Board of Directors has decided to cancel the October 2020 Festival. We deeply regret the need for this choice, but the safety of our attendees, vendors, concessioners, exhibitors, and staff is our highest priority.
We thank all of you for your continued support of the festival and assure you; the Board is planning and coordinating the October 9-10, 2021 festival. Please check the website for updates regarding 2021. If you have paid any fees for the festival, refunds will be issued.
Please plan to join us for the 2021 Historic Appomattox Railroad Festival. We look forward to seeing you.
