Downtown Wytheville hosts several major events throughout the year. These events are designed to provide family fun and entertainment to our community while simultaneously bringing in thousands of people from around the region. This means foot traffic and exposure for our district’s shops and restaurants as well as tourism dollars and tax revenue, benefiting the entire community!

Christmas Celebration
This two-day extravaganza kicks off the winter season on the first Friday and Saturday of December. Caroling, carriage rides, and the town’s largest parade of the year are just a few of the fun activities featured at this event.
