The region’s biggest outdoor festival has a direct impact on the regional economy.
The Anthem Roanoke GO Outside Festival in October generated $480,000 in new economic activity that will support 4.7 jobs in the Roanoke market over the next year.
Get2KnowNoke is on a mission to brand the Roanoke Region as a destination for college students to intern and work after graduation.
This spring, we will be in front of students from almost all 25 schools; including 13 four-year colleges and universities, two medical colleges, five community colleges, three career building colleges, and multiple graduate programs at the Roanoke Higher Education Center. From engineers and software developers to architects and liberal arts students, Get2KnowNoke is showing that there is a place for all majors in the Roanoke Region.
The wildest adventure film festival of the year is coming to the region in September.
