Mark Your Calendars - August 3-4, 2012

Steppin' Out features over 185 artists and crafts people from around the United States selling unique handcrafted items – jewelry, pottery, textiles, metal work, basketry, stained & fused glass, yard art, fine art, furniture, toys, artisan foods and so much more!

Downtown Blacksburg merchants also hold their much-awaited final clearance sidewalk sales during Steppin' Out. And those festival foods you love are provided by downtown restaurants.

Admission is free! Town of Blacksburg metered parking is all free and Blacksburg Transit provides free shuttles to get you there without the hassles. Bring your friends! Bring your family!

But please don't bring your pets. Steppin' Out gets crowded so leave your dog in the Canine Corral on the Henderson Lawn on College Ave.

Three stages of live performance make Steppin' Out one of this region's premiere arts events. Complete performance schedules will be posted a few weeks prior to the festival on this website.

The Draper Mile is on Friday at 6:15 p.m., starting and ending on Draper Road, with the finish in the heart of the festival area.
