Arts & Culture
The Performing Arts Foundation of Powhatan is working to create a state-of-the-art cultural arts organization to present prominent talent and showcase local gifted artists. Through musical and fine art presentations, they hope to become a focal point of community energy and pride.
The annual Powhatan County Fair - one of Virginia’s longest-running fairs - is a family tradition. It features concerts from rising entertainers, community displays, fabulous foods, the thrill of midway rides and plenty of interesting exhibits.
On the last Saturday in October, Powhatan’s historic Courthouse Square overflows with wine, food, shopping and live entertainment at the annual Powhatan’s Festival of the Grape. The Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, the Department of Economic Development and the Extension Service host one of the finest and fastest growing wine festivals in Virginia. Festival goers sample wine by the glass or taste the offerings of 18 Virginia wineries. A variety of cuisine, juried art and crafts booths add to the festivities. On the following day, the Tour de Vin charts a scenic bike ride through Powhatan County to round out the festival weekend.
Other family friendly community events include a Labor Day parade, Christmas Tree Lighting and parade, a special Bateau Festival and numerous shows, tours and festivals.
The Powhatan County Public Library offers over 30,000 volumes, with 10 high-speed Internet computers and a wireless network available for public use.
