About

Downtown Roanoke is the largest metropolitan area in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

It’s a vibrant city center that’s pedestrian friendly and features a variety of great local restaurants & breweries, shops & boutiques, attractions & museums, unique art studios & galleries, outdoor recreation, and public spaces that regularly host live music and special events.

Downtown Roanoke is also known for its Market Square area, where you’ll find the Historic Roanoke City Market – Virginia’s oldest continuously operated open-air farmers market. A Saturday afternoon “on the market” is the perfect opportunity to check out locally-made and grown products from an impressive collection of vendors and artisans.
