Some of our attractions may just bring out the kid in everyone.
Enjoy a day in the country as you pick fruit from the trees, take a scenic wagon ride, or let the kids play on the playground at one of our local farm markets.
After a day picking apples, pack a picnic lunch for the park, relax at one of our swimming pools, ride a paddle boat, or try hiking, fishing, or horseback riding.
The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival is Winchester’s signature event! Each year, hundreds of thousands of people join together to celebrate the arrival of the apple blossoms and adorn the city in pink and green. Since its beginnings in 1924, the festival has grown over the years to a ten-day celebration with over 30 events, including two huge parades, a carnival, dances, concerts, a 10K race, wine festival, golf tournament, and so much more!

A new Patsy Cline exhibition, Patsy Cline Tribute is on view at the
Winchester-Frederick County Visitors Center. The free exhibit features furniture similar to that in Patsy's Nashville home, awards, records, memorabilia, photos, and more. A 50th Anniversary Memorial Service will take place March 5-10, 2013 to mark the anniversary of Patsy's death in a 1963 plane crash.

The items will be on display for a year, and will complement Becoming Patsy Cline, an exhibition that will open on August 30, 2013 at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. The Museum's exhibition will focus on the singer's early years, and will use objects, clothing, and rare photographs to describe her family history, examine her early influences, and detail the development of her singing career.

Patsy Cline Tribute can be viewed at the Visitors Center, 9am - 5pm, 7 days a week, and admission is free.
