VOLCANO -- The 2024 Volcano Days Festival and Antique Engine Show will be held from Friday to Sunday at Mountwood Park.
Volcano Days will feature three days of antique engine displays, historical lectures, a variety of food concessions and many craft and antique vendors, running from 4-7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Admission is free, and parking is by donation.
The festival commemorates Volcano, the oil boomtown that burned down in 1879 and at one time filled the valley with industry.
Among the activities planned during the festival will be an antique engine show, flea market, cornmeal grinding, saw mill demonstrations, a shingle mill, the West Virginia Department of Forestry mini mill demo, a blacksmith demonstration and children's activities.
Easy Rider will be providing shuttle service on Saturday. The Volcano Museum will be open to visitors during the festival with a recently completed expansion scheduled to be open for the festival. The museum also features a 30-foot-tall, one-third-scale wooden derrick and a metal cable spool that is over 100 years old next to it, standing 8 feet tall and weighing 3,000 pounds.
