Roy Rogers FestivalPortsmouth takes on a country-western feel during the Roy Rogers Festival held in downtown Portsmouth. Sponsored by the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans Collectors' Association, the festival is held the first weekend in June.
Enthusiasts gather for the weekend for memorabilia, celebrities and western fun. You can have lunch with western stars and top off the weekend with a grand banquet.
Roy lived on Duck Run, in nearby McDermott, for a period of his youth and attended what was then McDermott High School. His childhood home is typically open for touring during the festival.
The Roy Rogers Hometown Memorabilia Exhibit, housed in the basement of the Portsmouth Post Office, exhibits posters, magazines, albums and photographs related to the life and times of this cowboy legend and Portsmouth-area native.
