A rich cultural environment at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains awaits you in Waynesboro. Diverse opportunities abound, from symphony orchestra, art and theater, to sporting events. Waynesboro distinguishes itself by unique events such as the Virginia Fall Foliage Festival, Virginia Fly Fishing Festival, Main Street Muscle Car Show, Blue Ridge Soapbox Classic, River City Chili-Fest, Taste of the Town, River City Wine Festival, and Christmas in the River City. Waynesboro is anchored by cultural destinations such as the P. Buckley Moss Museum, Shenandoah Valley Art Center, Waynesboro Heritage Museum, and Historic Plumb House.
Encompassing the natural beauty of the rural area, the South River Greenway, Downtown Streetscape, and Sunset Park incorporate the best of both worlds – walking and biking paths along the river that connect the city parks with the ever-so-important central business district. The South River is an aesthetic and recreational asset. People fly fish and canoe in the river, hike the Appalachian Trail, and bike on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive. Enjoy the peaceful quietness that only comes from being in a unique natural setting. Botanical gardens in Ridgeview Park enhance the existing naturalness of the area and promote the enjoyment of the park for bird watching and leisurely strolls in the cool shadows on a hot summer day.
Waynesboro, a community of 21,000, is located along I-64 at the intersection of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline Drive.
