Downtown Front Royal is the hub of Front Royal. The old town charm includes varied shops from art galleries, specialty outfitters, coffee shops, wine shops, casual to fine dining, to Japanese art. Front Royal is experiencing a renewed interest in service and specialty items. The Gazebo serves as the center of an attractive green space where summer concerts are held on the lawn on Friday night sponsored by The Blue Ridge Arts Council.
