Special summer long celebration for “Virginia is For Lovers” slogan turning 50 years old. Parades…festivals…special events to “Share the Love.”
50 Years of Love
The logo, “Virginia is for Lovers”, marked its 50th anniversary this years. In celebration of this iconic logo, the Virginia Tourism Corporation provided $10,000 grants to 38 communities across the Commonwealth to showcase what makes a vacation in Virginia so special, and to show travelers why “Virginia is for Lovers” still rings true 50 years later. Please take a look at Scott County’s partner activities and events.
Partner Activations
