Pedestrian-friendly Main Street is lined with a variety of restaurants, many of them regularly offering live music. Weekly jam sessions at Market Square Park are especially popular and public art abounds. Local restaurants and coffee shops offer a variety of food and beverage options and a new downtown Draper Road streetscape provides a great location to meet up with friends and enjoy the beauty of Blacksburg. The area’s night life features activities for all ages: comedy shows, live performances, special happy hours, and community gatherings.
