Things to Do this Spring in Virginia
There is nothing like springtime in Virginia and especially Richmond. Step outside of your Cornerstone home and take a look around at the flowering Dogwoods (Virginia’s State Flower), colorful Azaleas, and beautiful bulbs popping up— the days are getting longer and spring has finally arrived! As the sun settles in and bright colors bloom, there are so many incredible things happening around your Cornerstone Homes community. Now that you are living a carefree, worry-free lifestyle, you can venture out and enjoy every day… without thinking about pulling weeds, mulching, or any other yard work! Do you love trying new food and exploring the city? How about wandering through a garden full of gorgeous, seasonal flowers? Virginia is blossoming this season, and our communities are built in the best locations so that you don’t have to miss a beat of the fun!
Grab your neighbors, head outside, and join in on the fun at one of our top picks for things to do this spring:
Garden Week
From April 27 to May 4, the entire state of Virginia celebrates the beauty of flowers by offering tours through over “250 of Virginia’s most beautiful gardens, homes, and historic landmarks.” Experience the state’s stunning gardens when these springtime flowers are at their peak! You can also walk through beautiful homes adorned with over 2,300 flower arrangements by Garden Club of Virginia members, and find inspiration for your private courtyard’s container garden!
River City Food Tours
Richmond is known for many things, but its absolutely incredible food scene is at the top of the list… So head into this charming city and taste the best of the best! After all, there’s nothing more exciting than an event that’s centered entirely around food and local culture. From the Arts District to Carytown, River City Food Tours offers excursions through Richmond’s most vibrant neighborhoods, where you and your friends can enjoy delicious eats and discover new restaurants.
Brewery Fun
Recently named the “#1 beer destination in the world,” (yes, the world...) the Richmond Beer Trail must be on your itinerary this spring. Did you know that back in 1935, Richmond was actually the first place where you could purchase beer in a can? From beer history and culture to the city’s best brews, you’ll absolutely love visiting over 30 craft breweries and trying out your new favorites.
VA Arts Fest
From theater to dance to concerts, the Virginia Arts Festival is buzzing with creative wonders all year. This spring comes with an incredible lineup of entertainment, so don’t miss your favorite performer! Best of all, this non-profit is what helps to make southeastern Virginia the cultural destination that it is, and your purchase of a ticket continues to fuel its life. What better way to celebrate our wonderful, one-of-a-kind state than by supporting the arts? We’ll see you at the theater!
But the list doesn’t stop here… From exhibitions to Segway tours, there’s so much to do around your Cornerstone Homes community this spring. Coming home has never been better. Relax and enjoy a cocktail on your private courtyard or sit by the pool with your neighbors, share stories of your adventures, and make plans for the next one! Making new friends in a Cornerstone Homes community is so easy. You’ll be planning vacations with your neighbors soon! Come join the fun this Spring. Stop by so you can start this life now!
