Events
The Shenandoah Valley is always teeming with activity. In addition to many year round attractions like the caverns and Skyline Drive, there are also big events in the area throughout the year.
May - Luray's highly-anticipated Festival of Spring. This one-day family-friendly celebration is free to the public and features live music, artisans & crafts, and unique entertainment.
June - The Luray Swim Fest features a fun and competitive open water swimming opportunity. You can combine distances as they will not overlap, and will be eligible for podium awards for each race you enter.
July - Doah Fest is more than a music festival, it's an opportunity to get away and relax, a chance to get in touch with nature, be exposed to new ideas, music and art. Starting Friday afternoon the bands kick off and begin to fill the farm with great music. Jam, reggae, rock, bluegrass, indie and more on two stages by the river. Unlike any other festival, Doah allows you direct access to the Shenandoah River.
