The Rooster Walk Music and Arts Festival was created in memory of two childhood friends who passed away while still in their 20s: Edwin “the Rooster” Penn and Walker Shank.
This festival celebrates life and the notion that you shouldn’t waste a moment of it.
When Edwin died in a dirt-bike accident in November 2007, and Walker passed from heart trouble while asleep in his apartment in December 2008, close friends decided a music festival was a fitting way to tribute.
Rooster Walk was created, with the idea that proceeds from the festival go toward a college scholarship fund at their alma mater, Martinsville High School.
Festival gates open at 9am every day, except on Thursday when they open at noon. Flashlight, sunscreen, bug and tick spray, poison ivy protectant and phone chargers all recommended.
