BLAIRS, Va. – Thousands attended the four-day Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Blairs. And while things got off to a rocky start, many in attendance say festival organizers got it together on the last couple of days of the festival, adding shuttle buses, extra security and more portable toilets in and around the campsites.

About 20,000 fans camped out for the weekend and at least that many more were in attendance each day as 80 bands performed on several stages.

Traffic was a problem throughout the weekend, especially along U.S. 29. Attendees complained of long walks, camping snafus and an inadequate sound system.

Pittsylvania County is already asking for input on the concerts and it’s expected that the festival will become an annual event.
