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 Love Lex Lotto. Visit participating merchants to collect stamps for a chance to win a Downtown Lexington Shopping Spree.

Fairfield and Brownsburg are excellent antiquing hot spots, if there's a special something you seek. Warm hospitality awaits!

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. Need a little stretch to work out the kinks of carrying all those bags? Center of Gravity yoga studio offers evening classes you're welcome to join.
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.
