Always fun! Saturday morning Farmers Market is well organized, huge selection of fresh local fruits vegetables, eggs, specialty mushrooms, and meats. There are food vendors with kettle corn, fresh coffee, baked goods, fresh herbs, homemade teas and local honey.Friendly environment throughout. Plenty of convenient parking. Everyone is wearing masks, social distancing and hand sanitizer dispensers set up.

The Looking Glass, An Immersive Art Space, inside the same building that houses Three Notchd and North American Sake Brewery was another location we visited this past weekend. Here are a few shots of whats inside. It was very impressive what the 13 local artists put together. This would be a great thing to do on these hot summer days and then youve got beer or sake just steps away.

This is a great outdoor venue during the pandemic. Ive only ever seen comedy performed but I believe they do music and other things there as well. Heather runs a great show and Ill definitely be back

Really fun stop. We loved the beer, food, and wait staff at Three Notched. Walked outside and found a concert in full swing. Beautiful night to be out, but staying safe.

The art here is beautiful. So much time and effort has obviously been put in to this place. Down to small details it was an amazing experience. Definitely didnt expect something like that in cville.

Honestly this is one of the coolest places I have ever seen or been to anywhere! The vibe is always relaxed and comforting and I absolutely love the events. If you can swing by for any of the events here you wont be disappointed!

This was an awesome place to come and explore. There was so many cool and unique art pieces to look at and interact with. We explored around the grounds and then stopped in one of the small restaurants to get something to drink and relax. There was a good truck when we were there and looked like they hold regular events at the amphitheatre. Definitely a fun place to bring kids and hang out.

I was there for Three Notch’d Brewing and it didn’t disappoint. The beer was excellent - their nephrology series is so good/hazy/juicy and my wife loved the stout as well. The fries were ridiculously good, too.They had solid protocols for keeping people safe - sanitizing, distancing and masks worn by all staff.

Best kept secret in C-Ville! So many cool things for kids to do and explore. My amateur pictures don’t do it justice. Kids can run around the park while parents enjoy drinks and food from Brazos Tacos, 3 Notched, or the Sake place. Frequently live music as well.

The art park is something to experience. There is great beer and food nearby at the Three Notchd Brewery where they make the beer on site. The artwork is simply that, art. It is an environment that anyone would want to be in.

One of the best the festival, art, quirky parks in the universe! Ive been to a lot of them. This one is low key but super fun. Things dont happen all the time but when they do theyre always cool. Tonight is Billboard Chart topping reggae music. Multiple breweries are serving. And I always see somebody I know.

Wonderful place to hang out in downtown Charlottesville. Lots of beautiful and inspiring art. If the downtown mall is too crowded for you but still want some cville culture, this is the place. Some great businesses here as well.

When I came to visit this place, it was really cool. I wish I grabbed a book from the book throne piece. I love the taco place right by this place. Great for kids to play and people to hang out on a nice evening. I like that there is a sake bar there too and venue for bands to play.

One of the best things about Charlottesville! So thankful to have a place to host local bands (especially after the ante room got torn down.) some nights are more lively than others. Friendly staff, good unique drinks. And just 2 blocks from the downtown mall. A must go in cville.

This unexpected gem is really great and I anticipate it will only improve with time. What appears to be a transformed Urban blight, the space is now home to vibrant art installations and several local businesses, including a brewery and a distillery. We particularly enjoyed the sake tasting at the sake distillery, and meeting and chatting with one of the artists whose work is on display.

I have primarily been to various beer festivals at this venue. They have tents with seating and some vendors. Many vendors are outside. It is a sprawling place, with room for countless vendors. You can get some exercise wandering around to see them all and sample the beer. The large amount of space is good, you dont get a crowded feeling.
