Best Time to Visit Virginia

Winter
Winter in Virginia runs from December through February, offering a quiet, romantic atmosphere and a different perspective on history. Temperatures typically hover between 30°F and 50°F (-1°C to 10°C), with snow common in the mountains but sporadic elsewhere. This is the season for the "Grand Illumination" in Colonial Williamsburg, where the historic area is lit by candles and fireworks. Winter sports enthusiasts can ski or snow tube at resorts like Wintergreen and Massanutten in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surprisingly, winter is the prime time for whale watching off the coast of Virginia Beach, as whales migrate during these months.

Spring 2026
Spring in Virginia, spanning March through May, is a season of spectacular floral display and historical celebration. The chill of winter recedes as temperatures climb from a crisp 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C), signaling the bloom of dogwoods and azaleas across the state. Northern Virginia offers easy access to the famous cherry blossoms along the Potomac, while the Shenandoah Valley turns a vibrant green, perfect for hiking portions of the Appalachian Trail. It is a prime time for visiting Colonial Williamsburg before the summer humidity sets in. Accommodation rates are moderate, though they spike near D.C. during peak bloom. Packing layers is essential as rain showers are common but usually brief, enhancing the lush scenery.

Summer 2026
Summer, lasting from June to August, is the peak season for family vacations, centered heavily on the coast and theme parks. Temperatures average between 85°F and 90°F (29°C to 32°C) with significant humidity. Virginia Beach becomes the state’s bustling hub, offering a classic boardwalk experience, surfing, and vibrant nightlife. History buffs and thrill-seekers head to the region, combining visits to Jamestown with the world-class roller coasters of Busch Gardens Williamsburg. A unique highlight is the annual Pony Swim on Chincoteague Island in July, drawing crowds to the Eastern Shore. While the mountains offer slightly cooler respite, popular trails like Old Rag can get crowded. Travelers should book beach accommodations months in advance and be prepared for higher prices.

Autumn 2026
Autumn is widely considered the most visually stunning time to visit Virginia. From late September through November, the humidity drops, and the air turns crisp, with temperatures ranging from 55°F to 75°F (13°C to 24°C). The Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive become premier destinations as the foliage explodes into reds, oranges, and golds, attracting leaf-peepers from across the country. October is designated as Virginia Wine Month, making it the perfect season to tour the vineyards around Charlottesville and Loudoun County. While beach crowds disappear, the mountains see peak tourism; therefore, securing lodging along scenic byways requires early planning. It is an ideal season for scenic drives, hiking, and enjoying the rich harvest culture without the summer intensity.
