Music
In Galax, Virginia, music isn’t just entertainment—it’s a way of life. Passed down through generations and played on porches, in picking circles, and on festival stages, our sound is pure Appalachian soul. This is where fiddles sing, banjos keep time, and every tune tells a story. From the world-famous Old Fiddlers Convention to impromptu jams downtown, Galax is a place where tradition is alive and the music never truly stops. Scroll down to explore the rhythm of the mountains and the heart of our community.
