Culpeper Downtown for the Season

Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. has so many fun holiday events to look forward to, all happening in Culpeper Downtown!

Kick off the season with your favorite shopping buddy during Pink Friday (November 17) and #shopsmallfirst – before Black Friday and big box store madness! Next up on the calendar, Culpeper Downtown’s Holiday Open House & Community Tree Lighting, scheduled for Sunday, November 19, throughout the day! Enjoy shop specials, delicious restaurants, and family friendly fun at the Depot, including Sandy’s Face Painting, Jenny’s Party Ponies, wagon rides by Harmon’s Carriages & Training, a petting zoo with Charming Hill Farm, Caricature art by Daniel Ryman and so much more! Community choral and dance performances will entertain you, leading up the Community Tree Lighting, and while this year’s tree may look a little different due to construction, you can trust that CRI and the Town of Culpeper are working closely to deliver all the holiday merriment one can handle!

After the Holiday Open House & Community Tree Lighting, it is game on! Enjoy Thanksgiving with your loved ones, and then walk off the pie in Culpeper Downtown while shopping Black Friday (11/24) and Small Business Saturday (11/25) sales and specials! Venture downtown on Small Business Saturday and find Santa and Mrs. Claus mingling their way through shops and restaurants! After all that walking, take a load off and shop Culpeper Downtown from home on Cyber Monday (11/27)!

Celebrate the start of December on Saturday, December 2, with the Culpeper Downtown WINTER Farmers Market, bringing back your favorite vendors, on a slightly smaller scale, for the first three Saturdays in December, 9am to 12pm, at the East Davis Street parking lot. Find Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Culpeper Downtown WINTER Farmers Market on Saturday, December 16, making their final appearance in Culpeper before the big day!

Lastly, CRI invites you and the littles to shop Culpeper Downtown on Sunday, December 10, for the first ever Holiday Sunday Funday for Kids! With participating shops and restaurants offering kid friendly specials, it will be a great day, capped off with a stop at Bailey’s Cookie Bar and the E.B. Wood Community Park to visit Santa and share your list, creating a great FREE photo opportunity for parents! More details to come, so stay tuned and be sure to like and follow Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. and the Culpeper Downtown Farmers Market on Facebook and Instagram! We wish you a very Merry Holiday season ahead!
