A Region That Tells Its Story Through Art & Creativity
A Region That Tells Its Story Through Art & Creativity
Public art plays a meaningful role in the region’s identity. Lynchburg’s expanding Mural Trail brings color and character to downtown streets, while sculpture installations and local heritage signage create pathways through history. In Bedford, the National D-Day Memorial stands as one of the nation’s most powerful examples of history interpreted through artistry, honoring the “Bedford Boys” with moving sculptures and immersive exhibits. In Appomattox, historic interpretation and museum experiences connect past and present in engaging ways that draw visitors from across the country.
EVENTS THAT BRING THE REGION TOGETHER
Season after season, festivals help define life in the region. Thousands gather for International Festival, Garlic Festival in Amherst, Appomattox railroad festival, Celebrate Amherst, VA 10 Miler Weekend, and downtown Lynchburg’s First Fridays, which spotlight local galleries and makers.
Holiday traditions, including the Lynchburg Christmas Parade and Mistletoe Market, shine a light on the community spirit that keeps residents involved and newcomers feeling welcome.
