We are Celebrating our 250th Anniversary!!
Court and Market Days in Leesburg is an annual, heritage-based special event in the historic downtown, centered on the Loudoun County Courthouse lawn, that celebrates the period in the Town’s early history during which the Circuit Court was in session only once a year. During these Court Days, the Town of Leesburg took on a festive atmosphere as people from around the countryside (or County) would converge upon Leesburg to conduct business and to socialize. This event will feature reenactments of actual court cases from the period 1750 to 1825, street scenes in which historical interpreters discuss the events of the time period, artisan demonstrations, traders selling their merchandise, a farmers market and period entertainment. Traders are not limited to historically accurate merchandise, but must demonstrate either a historical nature or a geographic relationship to the event.
The Town of Leesburg will be hosting Court and Market Days October 18, 2007. This event will replace the event formerly known as August Court Days. The focus of this event will be to recognize our cultural heritage.
