46th Annual Land of the Loons Festival!

Over in Virginia, MN the town is gearing up for one of the biggest weekends for the town as the 46th Land of the Loons Festival is just around the corner this week! The festivities will begin even before the actual festival as there will be a BBQ Fundraiser on Thursday, then that following Saturday the show begins! We had the opportunity to talk to Barb Fivecoate, who is in charge of arts and crafts registration for the festival, and she tells us about what and where Land of the Loons is.

Barb tells us about all of the amazing things you can find and experience at the festival.

And don’t get us started on all the food!

There’s also gonna be a parade!

So how did Land of the Loons get its start?

Barb was then asked how long she had been involved with the festival.

Being involved for so long, she must have a favorite experience right?

She also tells us all about the wide variety of people, who are mostly volunteers, who help with running the festival.

There was also a very shoutout that Barb gave to city of Virginia, more specifically the Park Department.

This is clearly a large event that Virginia is hosting with a lot to offer and Barb had many encouragements for anyone who might be interested in going.

Barb also reminds us of when the Land of the Loons festival is being held.

This is the 46th Annual Land of the Loons Festival, and boy is it a great time! So if you’re wanting some delicious food, good music, and fun for the family then head down to Virginia, MN on Saturday June 15th and 16th where events begin at 9am and go until 6pm. Or if you wanna enjoy festivities a little earlier you can head down on Thursday June 13th for the BBQ Fundraiser!
