Though I might not want to live in Virginia (too many conservative laws, I guess) I have to say that the state has some of the funnest (is that a word?) little festivals we’ve come across.
Shenandoah Balloon Festival
The last time we went to this festival where there were hot air balloons was in 2011. Since then it's been renamed the Shenandoah Wine and Music Festival and features more wine and no balloons. The festival is held in the fall at Historic Long Branch in Virginia and features music, food stalls, craft shopping and lots of pumpkins! We'd typically drive down on Friday and stay at a hotel in Winchester, go to the festival Friday night and Saturday and drive home on Sunday. One of the better hotels in the area is the clean, no-frills Candlewood Suites in Winchester.To check this festival out you can visit
