Sip, Stroll & Celebrate Spring in Downtown Leesburg with Blooms & Brews
Spring has officially sprung, and what better way to celebrate than with a leisurely stroll through Downtown Leesburg!
Blooms & Brews is back, offering the perfect way to welcome the season while exploring our vibrant local businesses with flowers in one hand and delicious samples in the other.
Join us this Saturday, March 22, for a fun and flavorful afternoon. It’s free to participate you just need to check in at Towne Square to register, receive a wristband, a map, and your sampling tickets. Then, let the adventure begin!
Follow the map to each of the 27 participating businesses, where you’ll receive a sample of either craft beer, a glass of wine or a sweet scoop of ice cream. At every stop, you’ll also collect a fresh flower so by the time you’ve made your rounds, you’ll have a stunning bouquet.
Blooms & Brews is the ultimate date-day idea or the perfect excuse for an afternoon out with friends. But don’t wait because this event is first come, first served and runs from noon to 4pm, while supplies last.
