Waynesboro is in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in west-central Virginia near the intersection of I-64 from the east and I-81 which goes northeast-southwest through the valley.  Waynesboro is a key stopover for hikers on the Appalachian Trail.  With the Augusta County Fairgrounds nearby, Waynesboro is the site of many regional events throughout the year, including the Augusta County Fair, the Blue Ridge Classic Soap Box Derby (perhaps the largest regional Soap Box Derby events in the country), the Annual Fly Fishing Tournament (on South River), Summer Extravaganza (a weekend of events including fireworks at Ridgeview Park), the Fall Art Show (converting downtown into an art fair which draws artists from many states, and a Christmas parade (a parade featuring many of our civic groups, clubs, and youth organizations, including the Cadets from Fishburne Military School).
