SILVER ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Come celebrate Festival in the Park, Roanoke's summertime kick-off, today through June 5.

This is a milestone year for Festival - the event's 25th anniversary, and it's seeing a few notable differences. An expanded terrace replaces the beer garden and offers food and entertainment as well as food and wine. Several performances at the Kaleidoscope Children's Theatre will be interpreted in American Sign Language for the hearing-impaired. In addition, the Laser Show returns to the Amphitheatre after several years' absence.

As always, all you need for admission is a Festival button, which is $3 in advance or $6 at the gate. Buttons are available at area banks, businesses and the Welcome Center.

For details, see the Festival schedule inside this section .
