Tell us about your West Virginia ramp feast or festival
West Virginia Explorer has unveiled its new Guide to Ramp Feasts & Festivals, but our work is not yet done. Visit our guide to explore ramp feeds throughout West Virginia, and keep coming back as we add more to our roster. Please also let ramp dinner hosts know of our list and urge them to contact us. Here’s how.
Let us know of your favorite ramp fests and feasts
Dozens of ramp suppers must be hosted across West Virginia nearly every week in April and May, and the development team at West Virginia Explorer would like to build and maintain a comprehensive guide to all that are open to the public. Do you know of a ramp festival you’d like to see included here? Please let us know, or share this page with someone who might have information to contribute.
Also, let us know why this is your favorite ramp event and what makes it unique.
To be listed in the directory, we’ll need the following information:
- Name of the Event
- Time/Date
- Entrance Fee (if any)
- Location (city, town, or community)
- Venue (church, school, auditorium, fairground)
- Contact Information (email, Facebook, phone number)
Once you’ve gathered the above information, visit the Contact Us page and enter it in the message panel. We’ll begin publishing the guide here on March 31 and continue to maintain it, updating annually in February and March. OUR GROWING GUIDE TO RAMP FEASTS IS BEING PUBLISHED HERE.
You’re also welcome to contribute your favorite fests and feeds in the comments section below, but we will need a contact to call or email, and that might be best provided first through our contact page.
