Arts, Music, Film and Theater

For those who love to browse the unique shops of small towns looking for something different to take home to remember the trip, our sidewalks are lined with art, music, antiques, clothing and decor shops.

Downtown Blacksburg offers a large variety of one-of-a-kind shops that appeal to organic, natural and green conscience lover as well as the Virginia Tech Hokie fan.

Look for the "Round the Mountain" and "Crooked Road" signs in various shops and restaurants to view local art and hear the sounds of our talented local musicians as they often play live.
