Updated: May 17




If you're looking for a weekend filled with creativity, community, and countryside charm, mark your calendar for June 7 & 8, 2025. From 10 AM to 5 PM each day, the 14th annual Floyd Artisan Trail invites you on a self-guided journey through the heart of Floyd County, Virginia, where art, agriculture, and Appalachian culture come to life.


With 25 unique stops, this year's trail features a vibrant mix of working artist studios, family-run farms, local galleries, shops, and eateries—all opening their doors for a behind-the-scenes look at the creative forces that shape this one-of-a-kind community.


Start at the Heart: Floyd Center for the Arts

Your trail experience begins at the Floyd Center for the Arts, the official hub of the event. Here you can:

  • Pick up a trail map and brochure

  • Watch live pottery demonstrations

  • View gallery exhibitions

  • Meet several participating artists in one location

It’s the perfect launchpad for planning your route and immersing yourself in Floyd’s artistic energy.


What You’ll Discover on the Trail

From ceramics and woodworking to painting, weaving, and mixed media, the trail is rich with opportunities to see artists at work and learn about their craft. Several local farms are also participating, offering fresh produce, farm goods, and a chance to meet the animals that call Floyd home.

Along the way, you'll find stops at local businesses and restaurants, offering everything from handmade goods to homestyle meals. And if you want to make a weekend of it, Hotel Floyd, one of this year’s official stops and sponsors, offers a cozy stay right in the heart of town.
