Weekday Visitation Itinerary: What to Do and What’s Open

---

Are you in-town for a weekday visit or event? Although downtown Staunton bustles each weekend when we close to vehicular traffic and turn into the Shop and Dine Out walking mall, the pace can slow a bit midweek as some businesses close to rest and renew.
