Celebrate the Holidays
Lexington has been named among the best Holiday Main Streets in Virginia, and we can't help but agree. Our lamp posts don wreaths with big red bows and our shopkeepers create beautiful displays in their front windows. And that's just the outside!
Christmas Lists
Many Lexington merchants will have extended holiday hours, just look for the yellow flags adorning storefronts. This is the perfect time to take advantage of the Shop Small Sweepstakes. Spend $10 or more at each participating business to collect stamps. The more stamps you receive, the more entries you receive. Prizes range from $100 to $750 for even more shopping!
Shop Buena Vista, too! A number of new businesses have popped up and there are great finds just waiting for you.
Fairfield and Brownsburg are excellent antiquing hot spots, if there's a special something you seek.

Fuel up at local eateries before hitting the shops, then reward yourself with a craft beer or creative cocktail after you've crossed everyone off your list.
Flavors of the Season
Taste the sumptuous flavors of the season at our farm-to-table restaurants and knock back a holiday craft cocktail or two while live entertainment keeps time at our tap house, bars, or piano lounge.

Holiday Events
Celebrate the season in Lexington, Buena Vista, and Rockbridge County at one of our upcoming holiday events. From gorgeous lights to wonderful sounds and festive DIY opportunities, it will be easy to stay busy this season.
