WELCOME TO SPERRYFEST 2025!
SperryFest 2025: Saturday APRIL 26 and starting at 10AM!
Use this page to learn more about your favorite SperryFest vendors and activities. Below you’ll find helpful info on where to park, find facilities and locate your favorite food & beverage vendor.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: PARKING
Main Street will be closed to vehicles the day of the event. Parking has been generously provided (for free!) for the event. Please respect their property. Some bright ideas:
- Park in Lot D at River District and walk our trail to Main Street (0.9 mi.)
- Park in Lot E at Pen Druid and walk our trail to Main Street (1.3 mi. )
- Limited handicap parking available on Main Street (w/ placard)
NEXT: CHECKOUT THE FESTIVAL!
The Festival entrance is at the head of Main Street next to the Corner Store. Check in at the SperryFest tent: Grab a SperryFest T-shirt, a duck race ticket (very limited), your wine bracelet, some duck swag and start your day of activities (Pro tip: buy a duck race ticket ahead of time at participating Sperryville businesses).
Grab the little ducklings for a day of activities at the Kids Corner (Stonewall Abbey parking lot). Purchase their very own paint-able rubber duck for $5 and enter them in the Duck Dash starting at 2PM!
Live music will be happening all day with a stage at Woodward Road.
Stop by the Food Court (Cheri Woodard Realty parking lot) for a taste of local dishes. There will be additional food vendors scattered up and down Main Street so no need to stick to the food court only!
For the 21 and over crowd, sample local wines, beers and spirits from Rappahannock County’s very own producers. All of Main Street is “open container” for wine only. Beer and spirits will need to be consumed within their respective areas.
2PM: KIDS DUCK DASH
Pick-up a paintable duck for $5 at the Kids Corner, then join the parade down Main Street at 2PM where the ducks will be collected and raced down the Thornton River. Kids can take home their ducks!
4PM: MAIN DUCK RACE
The Main Event! This year’s duck race takes place at 4PM and will be dumped from the Main Street bridge by Happy Camper. The finish line is behind the Sperryville Schoolhouse (with Black Twig Diner) and prizes will be announced at the Winner’s Circle in the same location.
