Sunny skies and tens of thousands of visitors welcomed Leesburg’s Flower and Garden Festival back to the historic downtown streets over the weekend.

It was the first time the festival had packed the streets of Leesburg since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw a canceled festival in 2020 and a scaled-back version held at Ida Lee Park in 2021. But the shoppers, spring blooms and displays thronged the streets on the warmest days of the year yet over the weekend. More than 125 vendors took part along with music, entertainment for the kids, festival food, and a beer garden newly relocated to the roof of the town parking garage.
