Middleburg, Virginia established in 1787, is a charming Southern destination known as the nation’s horse and hunt capital. Middleburg offers the best of small-town America: local art, historic landmarks, fine cuisine and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Middleburg is where you can enjoy the world-class equestrian competitions, award-winning local wines and nationally recognized community events. American spirit lives on at the inns, shops and restaurants in the historic downtown area. Middleburg offers a variety of equestrian events throughout the year, including the Middleburg Spring Races, but it's also a well-known destination for the arts with events such as the Middleburg Film Festival. And, of course, Christmas in Middleburg draws thousands of visitors, who gather each year to watch the parade and the Middleburg Hunt & Hounds Review.
