The experience
What's special
Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival is held at Pop's Farm, a 150-acre outdoor music venue in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, at 675 Hobson Road in Axton, Virginia, in Martinsville-Henry County. It was created in memory of two childhood friends, Edwin "the Rooster" Penn and Walker Shank, and its proceeds go toward a scholarship fund at their alma mater, Martinsville High School; the festival has raised more than $400,000 for local and regional charities. The lineup spans 45+ bands across 6 stages, and the next festival is announced for 27 to 30 May in 2027.
How it works
Gates open Thursday and Friday from 9am to 1am, Saturday from 9am to 11pm and Sunday from 9am to 9pm, and tickets are not sold after the gates close for the night. Camping is available on site, including near-car camping zones (quiet, not-so-quiet, not quiet and family) and RV areas, and holders of a 4-day GA pass or a Sunday single-day pass may camp on Sunday night, leaving the site by 10am on Monday. Food and non-alcoholic drinks may be brought into the music viewing areas, but outside alcohol, glass, drones, fireworks and pets are not permitted, and grills are allowed while smokers are not.
Who it suits
Rooster Walk offers a family near-car camping zone and accessibility services through the 5 Points Music Foundation, including ADA golf cart shuttles and a headphone sound system. Pets are not permitted, and the venue has mostly gravel roads and mowed grass with many hills, which the organizer describes as making it difficult to get from stage to stage in a wheelchair.

Getting there
Nearest airport GSO.
How do I get to Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival. The nearest major airport is GSO, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Festival shuttle
Many Greensboro-area hotels offer complimentary airport shuttles. Separately, Rooster Walk itself runs a free patron shuttle loop between its partner hotel (Comfort Inn & Suites, 100 Tower Drive, Danville, VA) and the festival grounds all weekend, but that shuttle originates at the hotel, not at GSO, so a fly-in attendee still needs to get from GSO to Danville/Axton first by taxi-rideshare or rental car before picking up the festival's own hotel-to-venue loop.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
The venue itself. Pop's Farm, 675 Hobson Road, Axton, VA, is roughly 57 miles / about 65 minutes from GSO via US-29 S; no Rooster Walk or GSO source confirms Uber/Lyft actually serve the rural Axton venue directly, so treat rideshare as reliable only as far as Danville/Martinsville, with the festival's own free shuttles or a rental car covering the last leg.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Cost On-site vehicle passes are add-ons bought alongside admission and consistently sell out in advance, no gate/day-of sales for on-site parking. Current tiers (2026, per the live ticket page): GA On-Site Near Car Camping $200, GA Motorcycle On-Site Parking $50 (sold-out tiers: Premium On-Site Near Car Camping, Accessible On-Site, VIP On-Site Car Parking, GA On-Site Car Parking). Off-site Mom's Field is the fallback for anyone without a sold-out on-site pass: Near Car Camping $120, plain parking $10/day or $30 for all 4 days advance ($15/day or $35 for 4 days at arrival); free with 3+ admission-ticket holders in one vehicle. Prepay via the festival's ticketing site. Three free shuttles run all weekend to move people between off-site options and the gate: Mom's Field (off-site lot, Visit SoSi-sponsored), a Danville shuttle (Caesar's Virginia casino / Comfort Inn & Suites), and a Martinsville shuttle (Druid Hills Shopping Center lot). On-site pass holders may leave and re-enter with their vehicle; off-site (Mom's Field) parkers use the free shuttle loop and cannot drive back in. No drop-offs are permitted at the gate.

Camping & Accommodation

Yes, on site camping is available.
Facilities
Camping site types 2
GA On-Site Near Car Camping $200. Mom's Field Off-Site Near Car Camping $120. GA Motorcycle On-Site parking-only $50. Mom's Field plain parking (no camping) $10/day or $30/4 days advance, $15/day or $35/4 days at arrival, free with 3+ ticket holders per vehicle. Each on-site Near Car Camping pass permits two tents.
The official FAQ states the festival does NOT provide sewage or water hookups ('a portable toilet company offers pump-out services for a fee' and attendees are pointed to Indian Heritage RV Park in Martinsville for a dump station). RV passes provide power only, in tiers: RV-VIP Large Powered $998, RV-GA Large Unpowered $350, Peace & Level GA Large Unpowered $325 (all Thu 9am-Mon 9am). 'rv-hookups' in the live enum appears to mean electrical hookup, not full water/sewer hookup, flagging this distinction for the facts layer rather than contradicting the enum.
