Bike the Virginia Capitol Trail in James City County



Bring your bike to Williamsburg and bike along the new trail!

Great Live Music Series in Williamsburg



The Live Off Five live music series at Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists church (www.wuu.org/liveofffive.htm) is the kind of event every music-loving person hopes to find in a tourist town. Since Williamsburg is a tourist town and a college town, the combination often results in good programing that is well attended by visitors and locals.
