EventZone is
a private 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located
in the "event zone" of
downtown Roanoke, Virginia. The goal of EventZone
is help make the City of Roanoke a better place
to live and PLAY - one memory, event and festival at a time! Each year
over 150,000 people attend events and festivals held in downtown
Roanoke - well over half of these persons attend
and/or participate in the festivals and events
that are directly managed by EventZone - making EventZone
Roanoke's largest non-profit arts & entertainment organization
in terms of visitors to
downtown.
