VENUE

In one of Roanoke's Most Unique Spaces

Star City StrongFest has a new home this year in Riverdale Village at the base of Mill Mountain. This former 125-acre industrial site has more than a century of history in Roanoke. Today, it is being transformed into a growing destination for local businesses, makers, artists, recreation and community.
