New to the lineup this year is the action-packed Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show. Axe-throwing, wood chopping, log rolling and amazing chainsaw skills that will thrill young and old alike.

Multiple water activities are on tap for this year’s event, including lazy river tubing, kayaking, free pontoon boat rides on the Roanoke River, Harbor Towns jet boat rides and paddle wheel cruises.

There will be a Native American Pow Wow, lots of vendors, wild bear tours and a children’s bear train in the Kid’s Zone play area.

Want to take to the skies? Hot air balloon rides and helicopter rides will be available. If you prefer to stay a little more grounded and just look to the skies, you won’t want to miss the Reflections on the Roanoke Fireworks Show.
