Around Town

🎄 Crozet Christmas Weekend! - The Annual Market Crawl returns this Saturday across Crozet! Discover unique gifts, handcrafted goods, and seasonal treats from local makers, artists, and small businesses.

Stop by Crozet Artisan Depot at the historic train station to shop their dedicated Christmas Market for jewelry, paintings, photography, woodworking, and more.

Crozet United Methodist Church hosts its Annual Christmas Bazaar from 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Browse festive wares, baked goods, and crafts.

At Starr Hill Brewery, enjoy vendors including local favorite Hello Again Consignment. Grab a pint, shop, and let the kids explore the new arcade!

🎁 Come out, shop small, play, and celebrate big—Crozet is ready for the holidays!

Crozet Trolley’s North Pole Express - Looking for a festive outing close to home? Crozet Trolley is bringing back its North Pole Express, a fun holiday ride that starts in Downtown Crozet and winds its way to Knight’s Gambit Vineyards—transformed for the season into a cozy “North Pole” stop. Kids can sip hot chocolate, play a few holiday games, and say hello to Santa, while adults enjoy the chance to take in the vineyard views (and maybe a glass of wine) without worrying about the drive. It’s a simple, charming way to add a little magic to December, and seats tend to go quickly each year.

Wintergreen Helicopter Exercise - If you spotted helicopters flying overhead a couple of weeks ago, there was a good reason. The National Guard conducted a training exercise, and it made for quite the sight. Read more → CBS19 (Full Story).
