54th Annual Festival of Leaves October 10, 2026 | Downtown Front Royal, VA
Front Royal's ultimate fall experience is back for its 54th year — and it's bigger than ever. The Festival of Leaves takes over historic downtown Front Royal each October, filling the streets with live music, incredible food, community spirit, and the most breathtaking backdrop in Virginia. Multiple stages keep the energy going all day long with live entertainment from local and regional performers. Food trucks and a Historic District packed with award-winning beer, mead, and local eats mean there's something for every appetite. And this year, the 3rd Annual Car Show returns, hosted by Royal Shine Auto Detailing — expect classics, customs, trucks, and a few seriously cool motorcycles. But the Festival of Leaves is more than a great day out. The Historic District isn't just a backdrop — it's the story. Rich in history and rooted in tradition, this beloved festival is brought to life each year by hundreds of volunteers, partners, and neighbors who make it Front Royal's most anticipated event of the season. Plan your visit and make a weekend of it — the Blue Ridge is at peak color and Front Royal is at its very best.
