Just because the weather is cold doesn’t mean you have to stay home! We’ve got plenty of winter fun for families to explore with seasonal day trips, local holiday light displays, and our favorite Christmas events in Charlottesville. If you need an indoor activity, we’ve got nine local adventures for winter break. And don’t miss our guide to Charlottesville’s Christmas tree farms!
