Caledon Art & Wine Festival has become known as one of the best festivals in Virginia

Saturday November 7, 2015

10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Join us on the gently sloping lawn of the park for a day of sipping, eating and getting your Holiday shopping completed. Take advantage of the hayrides that will be offered throughout the day, and don’t forget to bring your camera. Caledon State Park is a National Natural Landmark because of its old growth hardwood forest, so the fall colors should give you a special show.
