Small festivals in Virginia Part 2

Festival of Spring
Luray, Virginia



DH and I decided to make a weekend trip to check out this festival in 2010.  The entire town of Luray puts out the welcome mat.  There's a street festival and music and craft shopping and food ... We arrived on a Friday, went to the festival on Saturday and headed home via the Shenandoah mountains on Sunday.  We stayed at the Days Inn Luray/Shenandoah (off I-81).  It was another clean, no-frills property that gave us easy access to downtown Luray and is perfect for spur-of-the-moment weekend trips.

On our way out of town we stopped by Carillon Pond Park which is most famous for the organ in the park.
