LocationVirginia

As "Virginia's Championship City," the City of Salem has become known around the country as a premier destination for tournaments and sporting events. Salem has hosted over 70 NCAA Championships since 1993 and many great athletes have competed on the fields of this city during parts of their careers.

Salem StadiumSalem is also a city with great music, food, shopping and fantastic special events throughout the year, including the Salem Fair, Blue Ridge Music Festival and Olde Salem Days.

You can see award-winning performers at the Salem Civic Center, catch a Salem Red Sox baseball game, explore the natural wonders at Dixie Caverns, sample fresh produce at the Salem Farmer's Market, attend a festival, and discover the unique history of the region at the Salem Museum. And it's all conveniently located near Interstate 81 in Virginia's Blue Ridge.

It's a good time to plan a trip…and there's always a good time to be had in Virginia's Blue Ridge.
