Explore Picturesque Downtown Blue Ridge

Downtown Blue Ridge has a lot of exciting things to do for a town of only 1,200 people. Even though the city gets hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, the downtown area has avoided the typical tourist trap of souvenir stores and fast food. Instead, both West and East Main Streets have kept their beauty, with their elegant boutiques and home décor stores, restaurants and cafés, as well as craft and antique shops.

The well-preserved architecture consists primarily of red-brick structures from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with the perfect mix of old and new in beautifully. The town's old courthouse, which currently houses the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association, is located on the south end of West Main Street and provides excellent photo opportunities. Just a few yards beyond there is the wonderful Black Sheep Restaurant, which has a large patio with fantastic city views.
