2024 Southern Gap Mountain Mayhem
Draws Thousands from 12 States
Thousands of visitors from 12 states converged on Southern Gap July 25-27, 2024 as Southern Gap Mountain Mayhem wrapped up its third year of the off-road and music festival held in Grundy, Va.
“We had record crowds this year at Mountain Mayhem, both in terms of spectators and competitors,” said Billie Campbell, co-owner with Patrick Owens, of Southern Gap Outdoor Adventure, the venue at which the annual event is held. “Our goal each year is to continue to grow the festival to showcase our region and what it has to offer. In addition to the many regional visitors we had, we also had visitors from 12 states, including those in Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa and Maine. “We credit our many volunteers for helping us to put on this event,” Campbell added. “We absolutely could not do it without them or without the sponsors and vendors who make it possible, including our title sponsors, Maxxis Tires, Noah Horn Well Drilling, Buchanan County Tourism, the Town of Grundy and Spearhead Trails. Additionally, the support we get from the Virginia Tourism Corporation continues to assist us in promoting and growing Mountain Mayhem.” Event sponsors for Mountain Mayhem 2024 included the CNX Foundation; Boys & Girls Club of Central Appalachia; the Heart of Appalachia; Food City; YPK Motorsports; Virginia Tourism Corporation; Trailnecks; Chillerz; and Donuts & More. Vendors and food trucks on site included Maxxis, Ji-Fab, Spearhead Trails, Outdoor Country and Topside Racing by Hey Jude Designs; Pig-n-Out, The Shack, Chillerz, Donuts & More, Countrified Café, Nothin’ Fancy, Jamie’s Tasty Delights, Just Poppin’, Frostbite and Main Street VIP. In addition to offroad events including the hill climb, drag racing, rally course racing, an obstacle course and fun and games from blindfold breakout and tire slingin’ to dizzy daze and moonlight madness night ride, the festival also provided nightly music entertainment. J Great Entertainment emceed rock-n-roll bingo on Thursday and Saturday nights; From the Edge Band and Midlife Crisis performed Friday followed by fireworks, sponsored by Food City. Music was sponsored by the Town of Grundy. “We also want to congratulate all the winners of our various competitions and hope they will join us again next year to defend their titles,” Campbell said. “We’re already looking at planning for next year’s event, so mark your calendars -- the mayhem will begin again July 24-26, 2025. We’ll announce the opening of camping shortly after the first of the year.” |
