The Back Home Festival is an admission-free event that has been named “Best West Virginia Northern Panhandle Festival” for three consecutive years.

Vendors line Main Street of the quaint river town as the music fills the air. There are an assortment of food choices as well, as the festival brings in award-winning food trucks for the patrons to enjoy. Adult beverages are more than reasonably priced.

If you are a fan of outdoor recreation make sure to bring your kayak when you come to the Back Home Festival, as New Martinsville is home to multiple kayak launches.

Situated in the heart of downtown New Martinsville, the Back Home Festival has gained a reputation as one of the most organized and welcoming festivals in the nation. The quaint river town truly rolls out the red carpet for festival-goers.

While you are in New Martinsville there are a number of wonderful “mom and pop” shops that line Main Street including award-winning eateries such as Baristas Cafe & Pub, Quinet’s, and Stalder’s Family Creamery.

The goal of the festival’s organizers, the Wetzel County Convention & Visitors Bureau, is to draw tourists into their county and keep them coming back for more year after year. Their mission has been an overwhelming success as the Back Home Festival has put the small community of 4,600 people on the radar of music lovers everywhere.
