Christmas in Middleburg

Members of the Middleburg Town Council lead the way

The first Saturday in December has marked what has become the famous Christmas in Middleburg event, stymied only last year by the pandemic, but back in full force this year.

To help safeguard against transmission of the latest Omicron variant, the Middleburg  Town Council decided to limit paid parking, and therefore visitor numbers, to 1,000 cars in the three main lots, two outside of town and one at the Salamander Resort & Spa.

​Incredible weather and a desire to get out into the open air meant that Middleburg  enjoyed one of the best ever events, with improved visitor dining options and excellent signage all through town.

From our wonderful elevated Washington Street location, we were able to enjoy both the early morning horse and hounds review followed by the parade just after lunch.

The evening before Christmas in Middleburg witnessed the annual town Christmas tree lighting at the Pink Box visitor center, another much anticipated, although far more local, annual tradition.
