Sidewalk Dining Program to Resume in Downtown Leesburg
The temporary street closure will begin March 5 to allow downtown restaurants
to expand seating capacity.
Leesburg, VA (February 24, 2021) – The Town of
Leesburg will resume its sidewalk dining program on
Friday, March 5, 2021.
Last July, the Town started the temporary program to
help downtown restaurants that were impacted by the
indoor dining restrictions set forth by the Governor’s
Executive Order.
Due to popular demand, South King Street, from
Market to Loudoun streets, will temporarily close on
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, to create an outdoor dining area for participating restaurants.
Sidewalk dining hours will be Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. The street closure will begin 30 minutes prior. Designated on-street parking
spaces will be available for delivery and pickup on East and West Market Street, adjacent to the
King Street intersection.
Customers will not be allowed to congregate in the street and must maintain proper social
distancing at all times. There will be no live performances or other outdoor entertainment,
however, customers are encouraged to visit downtown shops while waiting to dine.
