Music & Performing Arts
From fine arts like ballet and symphony to rock bands, we have year round entertainment.
Rockingham in the Spring
The moment the snow melts and the bright Shenandoah Valley green starts to come out again, so do the bikes, fishing rods and golf clubs.
Rockingham in the Summer
Not to show favorites between seasons, but summer is truly one of the best times to be here. The music festivals alone are reason enough to visit.
Rockingham in the Fall
Just because the leaves are changing doesn’t mean there’s less to do here; just the opposite, in fact. With so many farms, orchards and vineyards here in the valley, we refer to this time of year as ‘Harvest Season’ rather than fall or autumn.
Rockingham in the Winter
When the snow starts to fall, it’s time to enjoy yet another side of Rockingham County from the slopes or from the warming comforts of a spa.
Small Towns
Just a little over 2 hours from Washington, DC and easily accessible from all along the East Coast, Rockingham County is a true year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts, foodies, and history buffs.
