Town announces ‘Downtown Rebound’ to assist downtown businesses

The Town of Front Royal and specifically Family Fun Day, Inc. is excited to announce ‘Downtown Rebound’ – a plan to assist our beloved downtown businesses while adhering to safety guidelines, and mandates set forth by Phase One of the Governor’s “Virginia Forward” re-opening plan.

During this time, downtown businesses and specifically restaurants will be able to expand their services, displays, and seating areas onto the sidewalks and Main Street.  Additionally, the Royal Cinema will be showing Minions on an outdoor movie screen at 8:30 PM on Saturday and Iron Man at 8:30 PM on Sunday, weather permitting.

There will be a temporary vehicular road closure of Main Street, Kidd Lane, and part of Chester beginning Saturday, May 23rd at 2 P.M. and ending on Tuesday, May 26th at 7 A.M. Parking will be available at the Gazebo entering from Virginia Hale Blvd only.

This is not a festival, but it is an opportunity for citizens to get out and visit our restaurants and businesses throughout Front Royal.  All citizens are expected to maintain six feet social distancing and follow other guidelines as directed by Governor Northam’s Executive Order 61.  Restaurants may provide additional guidance as well.

Should you have questions, please contact the Town of Front Royal’s Public Information Office at 540-631-3600.
