Thousands of people have descended upon the Town of Appomattox this weekend to attend the 50th Annual Historic Appomattox Railroad Festival.

The event that began Friday night and wraps up on Sunday afternoon is in full swing with a variety of food vendors, live music, artisan and craft vendors, organization information booths, amusement park rides, children's inflatables, a hay bale maze, and more.

Still to come this evening are country music bands Rare Form and Confederate Railroad. Rare Form opens at 6 p.m., followed by Confederate Railroad on the Courtland Festival Park stage.
