2026 marks five years of celebrating the small businesses that make Culpeper one-of-a-kind. From Saturday, August 1 through Sunday, August 9, residents are invited to discover new places, revisit favorites, and take part in a full week of community fun.
Throughout the week, participating businesses will offer special promotions, exclusive deals, giveaways, and unique shopping and dining experiences. Whether you’re exploring a business for the first time or supporting one of your longtime favorites, every purchase helps strengthen our local economy and celebrate the businesses that make Culpeper special.
Shoppers can participate in this year’s Punch Card Challenge with either a virtual or paper punch card. Collect five punches by making purchases or receiving services at any of the participating businesses and earn the 2026 limited-edition #ChooseCulpeper t-shirt.
While you’re out shopping, be sure to pick up a free Be A Culpeper Local Week canvas tote with your purchase at participating businesses, available while supplies last.
