Flower & Garden Festival Scheduled to Take Place at Ida Lee
Park
Leesburg, VA (January 25, 2021) – The Town of Leesburg’s 31st annual Flower & Garden Festival
will be changing locations for 2021.
The Town’s unofficial start to spring has been traditionally held on the streets of historic
downtown Leesburg. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be moving to Ida Lee Park.
According to Deputy Director Kate Trask, the move will provide a better opportun ity to allow
social distancing.
“After having to cancel the festival last April, staff is excited to be planning this year’s event,”
Trask said. “Of course, we are all hopeful that the positivity rate will be waning come springtime
so the festival can be held. We’ve missed hosting our community events.”
The festival will be on Saturday, April 17, and Sunday, April 18, rain or shine. It is being planned
according to all Virginia Department of Health guidelines in order to provide a safe environment
for festival attendees, vendors, and staff.
Staff is looking forward to the return of the festival to downtown Leesburg in 2022. To stay up
to date on this year’s festival, visit www.flowerandgarden.org.
