PHOTO GALLERY: Christmas in Middleburg
The Town of Middleburg’s popular Christmas in Middleburg returned Saturday, and despite attempts to control crowds by limiting sales of parking passes it was a packed event.
The centerpieces of the day of festivities on Washington Street were parades by the Middleburg Hunt in the morning, followed by the afternoon community holiday parade. Restaurants, shops and craft beverage sellers all took part in the day of celebrations.
The holiday season continues in Middleburg; the rest of the town’s holiday plans are at middleburgva.gov/holidays.

Absolutely splendid. So glad the weather cooperated. I can’t think of a better place to herald the Holiday Season than Middleburg. Everyone in the photos looks so happy. (Though I admit I could do without Youngkin’s appearance at the parade. His tax shelter in Middleburg is a blot on the town.) Happy Holidays Loudoun!
Youngkin showed up? Thank God we did not go. He is a smarmy loser and he is not even in office. The GOP who voted for him did a big disservice to LoCo. Yuck.
