MidMountain is collecting physical donations for Appalachian regional climate disaster relief through Oct. 11 and during their inaugural MidMountain Fest on Oct. 12 at 338 Arnolds Valley Road. Mid-Mountain is seeking relief donations which will be given to existing Roanoke distribution points and directly to affected rural communities connected to MidMountain Fest performers; donations include essentials like water and nonperishable food, cleanup supplies and personal items.

MidMountain Fest on Oct. 12 will feature more than a dozen musical acts across two stages as well as featured vendors and workshops that will include a print-making station and art installations or presentations.
