We've had a busy couple of months with the Virginia Street Arts Festival, Tour the Town, and Hiker Fest and we wouldn't have been able to do any of it without our sponsors! Thank you to all of the people and organizations that believe in us and Downtown Waynesboro!

Thank you to all the volunteers that showed up and made everything run smoothly. You all really helped us out and made these events a success!

And thank you to everyone that came out, supported local businesses, and proved, once again, that nobody does a community event quite like Waynesboro.

It truly takes a village to make Downtown a better place and we have nothing but the best!

Stay tuned to see what's next!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
