Annual Festivals

Festivals and traditions that bring the community together year after year.

Life in the Northern Shenandoah Valley is enriched by a calendar full of beloved annual events. In Winchester, the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival draws thousands each spring with parades, concerts, and community celebrations that have been a tradition for nearly a century. Summer brings outdoor concerts, county fairs, and farmers markets that showcase the region’s agricultural roots. Fall is marked by harvest festivals, wine tastings, and Oktoberfest-style gatherings, while the holidays light up small towns with parades, markets, and historic home tours.

From large-scale festivals to neighborhood traditions, these events highlight the Valley’s strong sense of community and provide countless ways for residents to connect, celebrate, and make memories throughout the year.
