The Town of Middleburg is OPEN for the Holidays!

While we will miss not having our annual parades, tree lighting, and large gatherings, we are excited to announce the creation of new traditions throughout the Town. All of our activities were fun and exciting - and we hope to show you more soon!

Do you need a LAST MINUTE GIFT?? Check out our shops, or consider buying a Shop Middleburg gift card. It can be used at more than 15 locations in Town, and new businesses are being added regularly.

Scroll down to read more about the exciting events that occurred in Middleburg leading up to Christmas. In addition, the Town wanted to share its holiday spirit with a positive and welcoming message in its new video, “THIS is Christmas in Middleburg” which you can view below. 

We can't wait to share the holidays with you!
