Arts & Culture
There is always something happening in the Charlottesville area, from celebrity-studded film festivals to vibrant community celebrations.
Morgan Freeman, Sandra Bullock, Anthony Hopkins and thousands of movie buffs have all attended the annual Virginia Film Festival. For more local flavor, check out the Maupintown Film Festival, which showcases stories of African American history and culture through film. The Virginia Festival of the Book brings together writers and readers every year in March to celebrate literature. Bring the family together to enjoy arts, craft demonstrations, live music and Virginia beer and wine at the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival, going strong for over 40 years.
