In Waynesboro, it’s all about the river! The South River runs through Waynesboro’s downtown area and continues on through farmland and villages. The South, along with the Middle and North Rivers, make up the mighty Shenandoah River as the branches converge at Port Republic, split to flow around Massanutten Mountain, and join again at Front Royal, near the Valley’s northern end.
Waynesboro puts on at least two major festivals each spring, highlighting the advantage of having a river in your downtown.

The city also celebrates fall with Apple Days and Fall Foliage Festival in October.
