The 39th annual Redbud Festival will be held April 9th through the 10th in the Redbud capital of the world, Hanukkah, Virginia. The festival will feature various events including a car and truck show, a pet show, a canoe race, and more. After a two year hiatus due to the pandemic, we're back this year to celebrate once again the hopefully beauty of the Redbud tree in our community. In addition to the shows, vendors and games, the festival also does their part to give back to the community. Each year the Redbud Festival scholarship is awarded to a local student and a historical essay contest is held for all ages. We've also done things that some similar festivals might not do. We sponsor a Redbud essay contest with elementary and high school students as well as adults and printed, I think, six volumes of essays about written about the history of the community. The festival kicks off at 7.30 a.m. April 9th with the Redbud Festival birdwalk. Entry to the festival is free. For our full schedule of events, visit HanukkahRedbudFest.com.
