5th Annual James King Bluegrass Festival Rockahock Campground - Lanexa, Virginia June 25th, 26th & 27th, 2009

Once again "The James King Bluegrass Festival" will occur at the Rockahock Campground on Lanexa, Virginia thus coming June 25th, 26th and 27th, 2009.   The Rockahock Campground is on the Chickahominy River just off US Route 60 near Williamsburg, Virginia.  Earlybird advance tickets priced at $55 for the weekend are available if ordered before May 1st, 2009.  That’s a $10 savings over the regular $65 ticket price.  So, if you know you’re going why not order in advance.

Again this year the line up is fine including: The James King Band (All three days!), Sierra Hull & Highway 111, Bradley Walker, Lost & Found, Randy Waller & The Country Gentlemen, Blue Highway, Country Fried Grass, Code Blue, Bill Emerson & The Sweet Dixie Band, Lawson Creek, Gold Wing Express and many more to be announced.  That’s quite a diversified line up of great Bluegrass
music.

Full service camping at Rockahock is handled differently than at most festivals, therefore my best advice to you is to go on-line to www.rockahock.com to check on festival camping and rates.  Primitive RV sites are available for $40 for the weekend or $15 per night.

Next door to the campground is a fine Italian Restaurant, so if you get tired of eating “festival” food there’s a really nice place to sit and have dinner.

Rockahock has a large pavilion available to festival goers for their use to jam.  Also attached to this pavilion is the campground shower house.  These showers are each completely separate from the others and can be used by either sex.  When you enter the shower you are alone and can lock the door behind you.  This is a great idea and a feature that really impresses me. Another interesting difference that separates Rockahock from other festivals is the fact that the stage area is considered part of the bar and restaurant.  You can buy beer and mixed drinks and drink them in your lawn chair as you watch the show.  This same feature, however prevents you from bringing anything into the area with you.  Just as with any restaurant you cannot bring food or drink into the stage area.

So, make plans to join your friends at the James King bluegrass Festival at The Rockahock Campground on June 25th, 26th and 27th, 2009.
