Join Us Again, August 1st and 2nd 2008 For A Celebration Of History !

Moonshiners Jamboree is a Bluegrass Celebration held in memory of local Moonshiners and for Southern Culture loves.

The Jamboree is held in the small community of Climax, Virginia, just 14 Mile from the "Moonshine Capital" of the World, Franklin County, Virginia.

This part of Virginia has always been well known for race car drivers and Moonshiners. Most people do not think of moonshine and NASCAR as going together, and while they have different meanings to each person, they both go hand in hand in the Southside of Virginia.

Some of the greats, like Junior Johnson, started running moonshine when he was 14 years old and went on to become one of the best drivers in NASCAR history. Wendell Scott from Danville, Virginia, just 28 miles from the Jamboree, was the first black man to race in NASCAR. He got his foundation for racing from running moonshine on our back roads in Pittsylvania County.

Please take the time to look around the site, learn more about moonshining, the history of it, and what we've done to introduce the world to the art of moonshine !
