Charlottesville, Virginia is best known as the home of Thomas Jefferson
and the University of Virginia. It has received much attention over
the last several years as being one of the best small towns to live
in and it is!!! There is never a dull moment in Charlottesville! From
the Friday's After Five concerts on the downtown mall,
to lectures at the University of Virginia, to a comedy production at
the Paramount Theatre, Charlottesville entertainment and actvities have
a wide range of appeal.
Hungry? Every type of cuisine can be found around town. Enjoy outdoor dining on the downtown mall or a quiet romantic dinner at one of the many quaint restaurants tucked along some of the smaller surrounding towns.
There are many festivals in the spring and fall, from wine tasting events, apple harvest festivals to major productions such as the Virginia Film Festival and the Festival of the Book.
Of course the University of Virginia sports programs always have something to offer. From football to basketball to lacrosse, the community is as much of the spectator crowd as the students.
Equestrian events are also very popular. From the smaller farm horse shows to the prestigious Keswick Horse show, to the Foxfield Steeplechase races, there are equestrian activities for riders and non-riders alike.
A history buff? Virginia is the place to be with Charlottesville having many of the attractions. Monticello, Montpelier, Ashlawn, historic private homes, Civil War battlefields as well as many antique shops full of memorabilia!
