Over 120 vendors and thousands of people will fill the streets of Leesburg this April 17th and 18th. There will be landscape designs, gardening supplies, outdoor living items, plants, flowers and herbs galore! That's right - it's time for the Annual Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival!
A long running tradition in Leesburg, this will be their 20th year celebrating this event. Because the Flower and Garden Festival is the long running winner of Best of Loudoun's "Best Community Event," every year, the town works to make it even bigger and better. There has now been an entire block added to the event layout - adding 20 new vendors. That means more street food, more entertainment and more flowers!
If you're not a natural green thumb, but strive to be one, the Demonstration Stage is where you'll want to spend most of your time. They will take you through topics covering everything from rain barrel making to composting, and even Monarch Butterfly way stations.
This next new addition will definitely have a lot of people excited - the newly added Wine and Beer Garden, located behind the Town Hall. Besides, what's Loudoun County without a taste of the best wineries and breweries?
The festivities are not just for shopping and gardening, but also to bring entertainment and put the "Spring" back in Leesburg. For the children, there will be hourly entertainment, much of it interactive, on the Children's stage. If that's not enough, there will also be crafts, face painting and other fun activities to keep the kids busy.
Don't think they forgot about the adults! Local and regional bands will grace the the main stage of Leesburg, located at the Loudoun County Courthouse. Music will vary across the board from Reggae to classic rock, as well as performances by local star Gary Smallwood and country sensation Jay Henly the Stone Broke Band.

I can guarantee you'll have a good time at this festival - it's a great time to get outside and spend time with family and friends - and of course your fellow Leesburg neighbors. If you are thinking about moving to Leesburg, I highly suggest coming to this event to get a taste of this vibrant community.
