Join us Sunday, September 8 from 1 to 4 for the Sunday Sing & Pick, a free Old-Time concert at the Historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence accompanied by artist and farmer demonstrations.

Studio and Farm Tours will be held Saturday ONLY from 10 AM to 4 PM, with artists stationed throughout the county at our participating farms and studios.

We will offer two curated bus tours of the route guided by members of the Grayson County Historical Society on a ticketed basis. Please call us at 276-773-8002 to reserve your ticket or stop by the Tourism office at the Historic 1908 Courthouse, 107 E Main Street, Independence, VA.

Grayson County Tourism and Legends of Grayson Old-Time Celebration present the Ag & Art Sunday Sing & Pick at the Historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence on Sunday, September 8 beginning at 1:00 p.m. Artists and farmers from Saturday’s tour will set up on the grounds of the Courthouse during the concert. Admission to all exhibits is free, but art and farm products may be purchased. There will be no farm tours on Sunday.

Our route will carry you through stops from the rolling pastures of Baywood all the way to the rugged peaks of Western Grayson in a unique twist on a traditional art crawl.

Celebrate the creativity of our local artisans and the quality of our farms at your own pace. Watch demonstrations, buy some art, pet a cow, pick up some produce—all while enjoying a scenic mountain drive along the New River.
