At the same time, the Crestar Festival Soccer Tournament and the Young Life Volleyball Tournament will be taking place, with headquarters at the River's Edge Sports Complex on Wiley Drive.
Both tournaments will continue on Sunday.
Other activities on Saturday will occur in Elmwood Park, where an arts and crafts show and live entertainment will be featured.
Tonight, of course, Blood, Sweat and Tears will open the event with a concert at Victory Stadium.
Elmwood will be the festival headquarters Sunday and Monday, too, with live entertainment, children's activities and, on Monday, the WDBJ-7 Festival Cup Bicycle Races.
And this is but the first of the festival's two weekends.\
FLYING FEET: Flor de Cana, a seven-piece concert and dance band from Latin America, will perform Monday night at 8 at Lime Kiln theatre near Lexington. The group mixes contemporary and traditional Latin music with rich harmonies that are said to move the soul and the feet as well.
Tickets are $12.
The group will come to Roanoke on Tuesday for a performance at the Unitarian-Universalist Church on Grandin Road Southwest. Tickets there will be $8 in advance and $10 at the door, or $4 for children under age 12.
The Roanoke appearance is sponsored by the Plowshare Peace Center. For information, call 985-0808.\
CLASSICAL MUSIC AND MUNCHIES: Works by Dvorak and Mozart will be featured tonight at 6 at the Duck Pond on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg.
The occasion is a Summer Serenade at the Gazebo put on by the Roanoke Symphony and Friends. You can take a dinner or order sandwiches and salads to pick up there by calling 951-0826 by 1 p.m. today.
Either way, it sounds like a most pleasant way to spend some time. Bad weather will move everyone into Rector Fieldhouse.\
VIBRANT: "Up With People," the young folks who tour the world with a musical extravaganza, will come to E.C. Glass High School auditorium in Lynchburg for a show Tuesday night at 7:30.
The two-hour performance is called "Face to Face." It features 100 students of college age. This troupe, one of five, has just returned from a four-month tour of Portugal, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway.
Tickets are $7 for adults and $6 for students and senior citizens.
If you're a young person who dreams of traveling with the Up With People cast, call (804) 847-1428. Maybe you'll get an interview.\
