Virginia Indian FestivalVirginia's rich Indian heritage will come alive as members of seven native tribes present a cultural demonstration of the arts and their ancient way of life at the 2011 Virginia Indian Festival. Enjoy Riverbend Park's annual celebration of Indian culture on Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is $5.
