Staunton is more than you might expect. It’s a friendly combination of small town USA and a vibrant cultural scene. It’s the place you go to stroll red brick sidewalks, admire stunning architecture and shop locally-owned downtown boutiques. It’s also the place you go to experience world-class music festivals and intimate theatre performances. It’s where you can unwind at trendy breweries, dig into fresh culinary creations and take-in a dose of nature in the nearby Shenandoah National Park.
It’s where you can have a packed agenda, or no agenda at all.
We invite you to discover the variety of things to do, districts to explore, hotels to relax in and delicious restaurants to feed your soul. Welcome to Staunton.
