If you’re looking for something that feels like summer in Central Virginia—the kind with funnel cake in one hand and live music in the air—Ruckersville has you covered.

The Greene Farm & Livestock Show is back, running July 31st through August 2nd along Route 33 in Ruckersville—and this is one of those classic, can’t-miss community events.

We’re talking a full weekend of everything that makes this area special—livestock shows and sales, antique tractors and car displays, local artisans, and hands-on farm demonstrations that give you a real taste of Greene County life.

There’s something for every age too. Kids can check out pony rides and animal exhibits, while adults can wander through vendors, grab incredible local food, and maybe stick around for the live music happening throughout the day.

And honestly, this is more than just an event—it’s a gathering. It’s neighbors catching up, families making a day of it, and that perfect mix of small-town charm and summer energy that you just can’t fake.

Admission is open to the public, so you can drop in for a couple hours or stay all day and soak it all in.

If you’re ready for a little fresh air, a lot of fun, and a reminder of why we love living here… this is it.

Art Unleashed – Dogs on Display

October 24, 2026 - 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm at The CODE Building
240 W Main St

Charlottesville will be going to the dogs this summer… and it’s all for a great cause.

Beginning July first, colorful, artist-designed dog statues will start popping up all over the Charlottesville area as part of Art Unleashed: Dogs on Display, a community-wide public art project benefiting Service Dogs of Virginia.

Local artists and businesses are teaming up to transform the city into a giant outdoor gallery. You’ll find these one-of-a-kind dog sculptures at shops, restaurants, and public spaces across town, each one uniquely painted and designed.

The idea is simple: explore the displays, take photos, share them with friends, and learn more about the incredible work Service Dogs of Virginia does training service dogs for people with disabilities. These dogs help provide independence, mobility assistance, and life-changing companionship to the people who receive them.

But the project is more than just public art.

Everything leads up to the Art Unleashed Auction happening Saturday night, October twenty-fourth at The CODE Building in Charlottesville. That’s the big finale celebration, where many of the statues will be auctioned off to supporters and collectors.

The event runs from five to eleven that evening, and every bid helps support the mission of Service Dogs of Virginia. Proceeds from the auction will go directly toward building the organization’s new training facility, which will allow them to double the number of service dogs they place each year.

So this summer, keep an eye out around Charlottesville for those colorful dog statues popping up around town. They’re part of Art Unleashed, a creative community project with a powerful purpose.
