From Brick Reds To Blue Ridge Blues: The Colors of Staunton 


Each June and July, Staunton celebrates history, community, and the joyful expression of different aspects of human experience. Flowers spill over brick sidewalks, and flags fly high representing Pride Month and Independence Day. You’ll find the whole rainbow here in its natural habitat: painted on murals, fluttering on porches, and glowing from the inside of beloved small businesses. You’ll find it in fireworks, at festivals, and Instagram photo hotspots. Staunton is a town where bold color meets bold spirit, and everyone’s welcome.
