Local. Charitable. Delicious.

June 18-25, 2016. Presented by Lynchburg Living

For the 5th year in a row, Lynchburg RestaurantWeek is bringing fabulous food to the greater Lynchburg region. With more than 25 participating restaurants and a variety of delicious courses to choose from, we invite you to view all of the menus and start making plans for
June 18. Don’t miss a thing by following us on Facebook at “Lynchburg Restaurant Week;” you may even catch some giveaway opportunities!

This year for the first time, we’re working with the Academy Center of the Arts as our nonprofit partner. This collaboration highlights two things that bring our community together—food and art. The Academy has been integral in promoting the cultural development and revitalization of our region. If you didn’t know, they have 18 programs all oriented around arts education and economic development with the goal of improving the quality of life for all citizens.

A quick snapshot of current Academy projects includes:
• Hill City Keys
• Partnerships—such as benefit concerts—with other local nonprofits
• First Fridays, which allows free gallery visits to the public
• Scholarships for local youth to attend art classes and camps
• City Strings
• Youth Art Shows…and much more!

A bride.
That five-letter word represents so much.

For a little girl it is the dream of “one day my prince will come.” For a grown woman it is those dreams come to life. And perhaps nothing symbolizes a bride more than her wedding dress.

Few traditions still carry as much weight as the meaning behind that white dress. It’s the dress that will make you and your mother cry when you find it.

It’s the dress that will make your father choke up when he first sees his now grown little girl appear at the back of the church.

And it’s the dress that will fill your beloved’s heart with joy as you walk down the aisle.

The dress.
It’s also a five-letter word that represents so much.

We hope this styled shoot inspires your dreams of that dress and helps bring meaning to your own journey as a bride.
