It might not be December yet, but holiday plans are already in full swing.
Here’s an experience to add to the top of your list: a weekend getaway to the City of Salem in Virginia’s Blue Ridge, just about two hours from downtown.
From Friday, Dec. 5 through Sunday, Dec. 7, Winstonians can explore a series of festive events and holiday traditions that make for the perfect small-town holiday escape.
The best part? We’ve already done the planning for you:
🎄 Friday, Dec. 5
Kick off the weekend with Salem’s annual Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting. Then, enjoy a festive performance by the symphony at the Salem Civic Center.
🎄 Saturday, Dec. 6
Shop handmade gifts and seasonal goodies at the Crafty Christmas Market. Bonus: Don’t miss the family-friendly Gingerbread Festival at the Salem Museum and Longwood Park.
🎄 Sunday, Dec. 7
Stroll downtown, catch a soccer game, and soak in the small-town charm before heading home full of holiday spirit.
