The Blue Ridge Music Center is part of the Blue Ridge Parkway system and is located at Milepost 213 near Galax, Virginia.[1] Each summer it has a schedule of events related to a concert series.[2][3] The center was planned over a decade ago when the town of Galax gave 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) for its development.[4] The Center has a state-of-the-art amphitheater and a 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m2) museum.[5][6] It was officially established by Congress in 1985.[7][8][9]
