There’s nothing quite like harvest season in Southern Virginia. We’re just getting started, with a lot more to come, but it sure feels good to be back at it!

08/25/2026

Summer may be starting to wind down, but Mecklenburg County clearly isn’t ready to call it a season 🤗

Sometimes we just need one more evening by the water. One more night of live music. One more meal with friends, glass of wine on the patio, a Saturday spent somewhere other than home.

And this week, you’ve got plenty of excuses. From wine and games at Rosemont to a fundraiser in Chase City, live music all around the lakes, yoga at the brewery and a little trip back to the Revolution at Boyd Tavern, there’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy around Mecklenburg County!☀️
