TOBACCO APACHE
FIRST 20 PEOPLE AT THE GATE GET A FREE GRANDIN CHILLAGE KOOZIE!!!
Tobacco Apache will be lighting up the stage as they always do! The Apache is an collective mix of original old school rock with a touch of folk, southern rock, roots rock and others blended into one dynamic sound.
For this special event we have partnered with Roanoke Valley Harley Owners Group #5326 to put on a beautiful display of some of the finest Harleys around! Each patron will be given a token at the gate to vote on their favorite motorcycle. At the end of the evening we will tally the votes and write a check to a charity of the owners choice. How cool is this going to be?
Southern Vape Escape will be set up and ready to help you trade that nasty habit for a healthier choice (and they tell jokes!) ;)
Lib's Lab Entertainment will be on site painting all those pretty faces (she can probably do a Harley emblem too) Judd's Big Fun Events will be bringing the games and of coarse...sidewalk chalk, lots of it!
The fine folks from Regional Center for Animal Care & Protection will be educating people on how they can help, alongside Carol's Creations. Carol will be bringing you a variety of grain free, organic dog treats, chews and bakery items. With a background in baking and catering, Carol Landrum saw a need for quality, safe treats for all dogs, especially those with allergies! Samples will be available if you want to bring your pooch to try some! The Chillage loves it's doggies!
Two times in a row - they are THAT good! The "Long" awaited arrival of one of the finest chefs around! Chef Richard L. Perry will be bringing his Longfin Grill to the heart of Grandin Village. You do not want to miss out on this guy - a true food magician! While the phrase "food truck" usually calls to mind messy street food and questionable ingredients, Longfin Grill and Classic Caterers have been on the forefront of the new breed of food trucks for over 15 years. Serving up high-end dishes with fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients that fit perfectly at any event.
Two Roosters Kettle Corn and Coffee Company will have that salty sweet goodness that we are all addicted to, as well as their new, unique flavors! Cool Blue Ice Cream Co. will be keeping the kids sticky and sweet with their frosty treats.
Something to wash it all down with...we got you covered!
P.A. Short Distributingis always on point with barrels of the good stuff! Chaos Mountain Brewing will be pouring their delightful brew all evening and the wine, sangria and Bud Light will be flowing!
Face Painting and Henna tattoos are available for all ages (for a small fee to the artist), Judd's Big Fun Events will be bringing large street games to every event, plus free sidewalk chalk galore!

The Grandin Village Community Market (GVCM) supports local, sustainable agriculture by connecting the public with local farmers and food producers. The Grandin Village Market accepts and doubles SNAP-EBT benefits up to $30.
The GVCM features 100% locally produced products with an emphasis on organic, sustainable, and humane producers, products, and practices. All products are produced within 100 miles of the market location, with the exception of regional seafood from Virginia and North Carolina waters (only if the vendor is local) and coffee (only if the roaster is local).
Currently the Grandin Village Community Market is comprised of 18 farmers and food producers (layout is below!) featuring certified and non-certified organic veggies, fruit, herbs, seasonal seedlings, cheese, pasture raised/grass-fed chicken, beef, pork, and lamb, regional seafood, locally roasted coffee, artisan homemade breads, muffins, baked goods, hot-prepared foods, and fresh-cut flowers.
Beer, Wine & Sangria:
$4 a ticket
The Grandin Chillage is a full service event designed to bring the community together through good music, cold drinks, great company and positive vibes! This past season we have made it a family-friendly event as well.
This outdoor event takes place in the area behind Nopale's on the corner of Westover and Grandin Road. This is a multi-level area with space for mingling on the top level, and dancing to the band on the bottom level. A local craft brewery is featured, with Sangria, imported wines and Two Roosters Kettle Corn also on tap. Newly added in 2016 - food from a local restaurant or Food Truck! Local bands offer a variety of music from rock to blues to reggae.
Regular season hours are from 6 - 9 pm on selected Friday nights, with a grand finale of a ChillageFest in October which lasts from 1 - 9 pm and features a variety of bands throughout the day and evening, along with a selection of local breweries.
Children 12 and under are free, and all children 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Leashed dogs are welcome. We hope to see you at the next Chillage!
Kudos and a BIG thanks go out to John Bryant and the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op, for stepping up to create a maintenance solution for the hanging flower baskets in Grandin Village!
The Co-op has purchased equipment to water the flowers, which they will also use to water their own great vegetable and plant offerings. And various employees and volunteers step in to keep the baskets watered and fertilized.
It truly takes a Village, and we are so lucky to have folks like this who step up in times of need!
