Experience Culpeper Downtown’s 2025 Can’t Miss Events with Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.

It’s a new year and Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. (CRI) could not be more excited to roll out the 2025 Calendar of Events for Culpeper Downtown!

Look forward to fun and festive annual events in the new year such as the Culpeper Downtown Carnival, a celebration of all things Mardi Gras.  With merchant specials and bayou inspired menus, it’s the perfect occasion to let the “good times roll”!  As the winter season transitions, usher in the flavors of spring (and fall respectively) with two annual Culpeper Downtown Restaurant Weeks! 

Do not miss the highly anticipated, often imitated, but never duplicated Gnarly Culpeper Block Party & Brew Fest!  Sample brews, browse artisan vendors, plus food trucks and live music, all set in the charming and picturesque backdrop of Culpeper Downtown’s Depot District.

Next, Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. keeps the party going with the 3rd Thursday Summer Concert Series, now in its 22nd year!  Dance the evening away at these weeknight concerts, May through August, featuring food trucks, adult beverages and even a kid’s corner!

The fun doesn’t let up come fall!  Sample BBQ, beer and bourbon at the Hop N Hog Culpeper Block Party & BBQ Competition.  Grab the fam and trick or treat with your favorite downtown merchants and restaurants on Halloween!
End the year with extra special holiday magic and merriment only Culpeper Downtown and CRI can deliver!  From the tree lighting to Santa visits, to Small Business Saturday and everything in between, there’s only one place to celebrate the holiday season!

Finally, throughout 2025, be sure to shop the Culpeper Downtown Farmers Market!  The biggest and longest running farmers market in the area always delivers the best local vendors, providing produce, meats, baked goods, and so much more, May to October.  Enjoy special events throughout the season, including the limited run of the Winter Farmers Market in December!
