The Halifax County Virginia Heritage & Antique Machinery Festival was established in 2004 by a group of interested citizens to help  preserve the heritage of our county. At the present time this event is being held the 1st weekend in May of each year at the Halifax County Fairgrounds.  This year the festival will begin on Friday May 4th  and and run through May 6th, 2012. Plans are underway to have a permanent  home for the festival. Improvements have been made at the old Halifax County Fair Grounds with camping sites with hookups, additional  fencing installed, horse show ring, exhibit hall displays and tractor pull guard rails just to name a few. Contributions to the community through scholarships, equipment donation to the local school system and visits to the local nursing homes have been made over the past few years. Vendors are welcome by filling out application online or mailing one to the festival  contacts., but no food vendors will be allowed.
