October marks the start of the height of our tourist season in Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas, and for good reason. Some of the most popular and awaited events of the year occur during this wonderful time of year. When the summer heat dies down, Fredericksburg is revving up with all kinds of exciting festivals and events that you won’t want to miss! Our Oktoberfest, which has become a “can’t miss” celebration, kicks off the Fall season and every weekend thereafter has something worth doing going on.

Christmas Time is also right around the corner and to make your life a little easier we provide Gift Certificates for pain free, stress free holiday shopping. This is a perfect, one-size fits all gift that everyone on your shopping list will appreciate and enjoy. And now a list of upcoming events so that you can make your plans.
