Clifford Virginia's most popular event!  For forty years the Clifford Ruritans have brought together old-fashioned sorghum syrup and apple butter making, traditional Virginia music and food, historical presentations and much, much, more. This year dozens of jousters from across the Commonwealth will come together to vie for the Virginia State Championship.

In addition to jousting, festival offerings include food – fresh, hot sandwiches, Brunswick stew, beverages and desserts; Old-fashioned sorghum syrup and apple butter cooking and sales; cake walks and bake sale; fresh local produce, crafts, art, collectibles, gifts, jewelry and quilts; children's activities; historic re-enactors; plus traditional music and entertainment.

The festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 5th and 6th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, rain or shine. Admission is free with a parking fee of $5 per car and $1 for motorcycles. Lawn chairs are welcome, no coolers please. As always, proceeds from Ruritan events benefit your local communities. Join us for a day of fun in Amherst County.
