New for 2024 – The GO Outside Festival now has two locations, each with plenty for you to Wander – Explore – Discover. Elmwood Park remains our Festival Basecamp, with everything you’ve come to love and expect, but this year we’ve added the Adventure Outpost at Explore Park, a place for new adventures.
Outdoor Exhibitors, Activities, Films, Pro Athletes, and All Your Longtime Festival Favorites
The Festival Basecamp is the main headquarters of the Roanoke GO Outside Festival in Elmwood Park! All of your favorites like the Lumberjack Show, demo pool, Gentry Locke BMX stunt shows, concerts, and vendors are back in action in downtown Roanoke. The same incredible, free outdoor experiences in an accessible place are found at Festival Basecamp!

Designated by “zones,” the festival layout in the center of downtown Roanoke features a circular flow with pockets for retail; activities like stand-up paddle boarding, biking, climbing, and slacklining; dedicated space along wooded paths for connecting with our non-profit community; and, of course, plenty of space for taking in the live music, influential speakers, and the exciting films of the Mountain Film Festival.
