Events

The Eighth Annual Ramps and Rail Festival will be held on April 30, 2016. The festival continues to grow each year and the Depot hoped everyone had an amazing experience and will come back again next year! People tried out different ramp-themed foods and listened to live music, enjoyed the craft vendors, and voted for their favorite vendors. This event keeps growing, we had about 2,000 people attend this year, which was great since it rained for part of the day!

Each year the festivities start at 10am and continue until 5pm. This year there will be live performances by Seth Maynard Jazz Quartet, The Franks Family Music Show, and the Hardly Ever. Food vendors concocted some delicious ramp-themed foods, like ramp burgers, ramperoni rolls, ramp chili and ramp risotto with shrimp. There were about fifty different food and craft booths at the festival. The Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad offers train rides to those who wanted take one of the first rides of the year.
