The May 17-19 festival brings out athletes, musicians and even dogs for a weekend of concerts and sporting events such as bouldering, freestyle biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, ultimate air dogs and much, much more. This year also brings a new yoga session to Brown’s Island.

The 2013 Dominion Riverrock event offers an Interactive Village where sports enthusiasts and up-and-coming adventurers can demo and learn more about such sports as stand up paddleboarding (SUP), SUP yoga, kayaking and hiking. There will also be opportunities to take group hikes and tour the mountain bike skills course on Belle Isle.

Some of the companies that will be hanging out in the Interactive Village include Jackson Kayak, Appomattox River Company, Boardworks Surf, Black Dog Paddle, Gibbon Slacklines, Peak Experiences, Central Virginia Trailblazers and Riverside Outfitters.
