If you would love to mix a romantic getaway with a little eco-tourism and a lot of great food and music, consider the unique opportunity of the Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival in Orange, Virginia, which is planned for June 26.

The fun begins with the Trash Rodeo Roundup, a unique event where competitors rush to collect as much trash as possible from the downtown historic district. Points will be given based on how much trash you collect, as well as the type of trash you find. You might even win an award. Best of all, this fun event will ensure that the lovely historic downtown is picture perfect.

The Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival will take place during the afternoon and evening. Visitors can munch on a variety of ribs from local vendors, as well as plenty of cold brews. The Blues Farm Band will be on hand to entertain the hungry trash collectors.

As for where to stay, the Holladay House Bed and Breakfast offers an ideal location, right in the center of downtown Orange on Main Street. This historic Orange, Virginia, bed and breakfast includes six guest rooms and all of the rooms include a private bath. As partners in the Virginia Green Lodging Program, one-third of the Holladay House’s power comes from renewable sources, such as wind and solar. Food items, such as fresh produce, meats and the gourmet coffees are produced either locally or close by. Cleaning products are hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly.

The innkeepers at this Virginia inn take delight in making sure their guests enjoy a relaxing getaway. The guest rooms are decorated with antiques and the comfortable beds are topped with luxury linens. Fluffy bathrobes and fine, hypoallergenic bath products are other thoughtful touches. Several rooms feature a whirlpool tub, a fireplace or both. If you need a little extra relaxation, an in-room massage can be scheduled.

In addition to the festival, there are plenty of reasons to extend your visit to Orange and the Holladay House. The area is bursting at the seams with historic attractions, from museums to the homes of three United States presidents. In addition, you find plenty of antiquing and more than a dozen wineries to enjoy, as well as fine restaurants, live theater and tons of outdoor activities.
