Hillsville City Hotels with a
Jacuzzi in the Room

Hillsville's attractions center on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the town's Labor Day event tradition, and the small-town historic downtown. The VFW Labor Day Gun Show & Flea Market fills Hillsville each September with 500,000 visitors across the fairgrounds and downtown lots — one of the largest gun shows and flea markets in the country. The Blue Ridge Parkway at Fancy Gap is a 15-minute drive south via US-58, offering the marquee scenic drive of the eastern US and the Fancy Gap overlook. The Blue Ridge Music Center on the Parkway (30 min south) presents Sunday music sessions May–October and old-time music heritage exhibits. Historic downtown Hillsville's Main Street offers brick storefronts, small shops and the 1873 Carroll County Courthouse. The Big Walker Lookout Country Store — 40 minutes north on US-52 — is a landmark mountain-country stop with the Big Walker Mountain Tower. The New River Trail State Park — a 57-mile paved rail-trail — sits 30 minutes north. Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most-photographed spots on the Parkway, 40 minutes northeast. Mount Airy, NC (Andy Griffith's Mayberry) is 30 minutes south for the TV nostalgia trail. Spring dogwoods, cool summer mountain nights, peak mid-October foliage and snowy Fancy Gap winters shape the year.

There is more within easy reach: Chateau Morrisette winery on the Parkway; Downtown Galax (~20 min southwest); Grayson Highlands State Park (~60 min west); The Historic Poor Farm Museum. Seasonal highlights include the VFW Labor Day Gun Show & Flea Market (Labor Day weekend, 500,000 visitors), Blue Ridge Parkway peak fall foliage (mid-October), and Blue Ridge Music Center Sunday sessions (May–October).
