What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a friendly Piedmont fair atmosphere with the Blue Ridge rising to the west.
Visitor Tips
Amherst sits along the James River corridor north of Lynchburg — the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail access on the Priest, and the historic Liberty University campus in Lynchburg are all nearby.
