DANVILLE CULTURE & ENTERTAINMENT
Danville offers close proximity to a range of attractions that include mountains, beaches, and big cities in both Virginia and North Carolina, but this growing community also offers plenty of fun and culture for those who want to stay home. Danville provides residents with a location that’s close to major cities like Roanoke, Lynchburg, Greensboro, Durham, and Raleigh, while still maintaining its small-town charm.
Danville and Pittsylvania County offer scenic farmers markets and historic mainstreet communities, traditional and one-of-a-kind museums, internationally recognized competitions and award-winning trails and waterways. It is quickly becoming a hotbed of culture in southern Virginia, as it plays host to music fans, art enthusiasts, theater buffs, and cinema-goers of all ages. Be it the Carrington Pavilion summer concert series, the Danville Symphony Orchestra, an art series at the Danville Museum of Fine Arts, or a theater production for children, Danville can fill all your cultural needs.
The nearly 12-mile paved Riverwalk Trail, also called the “Riverwalk on the Dan,” is part of Danville’s expanding network of trails. This scenic pathway along the Dan River connects industry, beautiful parks, and natural areas. The Riverwalk Trail travels through some of the most historic Civil War regions of southern Virginia. Throughout the war, Danville functioned as a staging area for many battles. Some of its old tobacco warehouses were turned into prisons, and the city was the last capital of the Confederate States of America after Richmond was captured by the Union army.
While auto racing is the region’s top draw, other attractions include the Virginia Museum of Natural History, with dinosaur and prehistoric whale fossils; the AAF Tank Museum, which has more than 120 armored tanks and artillery pieces on exhibit; Danville Science Center; and the Danville Museum of Fine Arts & History.
