Run, paddle, cast and bike your way to fun at Smith River Fest! Held annually at the Monogram Foods Smith River Sports Complex in Henry County, Virginia, this event is truly a celebration of all things associated with the Smith River and our great outdoors. Ride the river, learn to fly-fish, browse vendors and challenge yourself in the Helgramite Hustle 5K Mud Run.

Join us as we celebrate the Smith River and it's 45 miles of scenic beauty flowing through our community and the nearly 20 miles of shared-use trails that make up the Smith River Trail System.
