There’s no place like the Back Home Festival

NEW MARTINSVILLE, W.Va. (WTRF) — The New Martinsville Back Home Festival wraps up its last day on Sunday.

Festivalgoers had the opportunity to check out loads of vendors, grab a bite from one of the food stands, and listen to live musicians perform throughout the evening.

Emcee Josh Weekley says everybody should check out this festival because there’s always something new and unexpected to see.

“Headlining tonight, local hometown hero Ezra Hamilton. The Davisson Brothers, one of our favorite acts, we’ve been following them for years – they’re playing tonight. I understand they have Johnny Staats sitting in with them today, that’s a big deal.”

“This is the best fair/festival in the state, it has been voted on and we won that award for the past two years. We have Grammy nominated and Grammy winning artists attend the festival every single year so, if you give this festival a chance, I promise that you’re going to find something that you love.”

Averie Goshert, festival spokesperson

It goes to show, there’s no place like back home, or rather there’s no place like the Back Home Festival.
