Important Town of Louisa July 4th Parade Update
After careful consideration and consultation with emergency management and public safety officials, the Town of Louisa has made the difficult decision to cancel the July 4th parade. With extreme heat forecasted, the safety and well-being of parade participants, volunteers, first responders, and spectators must come first. Based on current conditions and recommendations from our public safety partners, canceling the parade is the most responsible choice.
The Festival at the Fairgrounds will continue as planned, starting at 5 pm and ending with fireworks after sunset! Thanks to the Walmart Distribution Center, we will have extra water. We are also allowing attendees to bring a small, soft-sided cooler with water into the festival, no other outside food or beverage is allowed.

Summer of Steam
LOUISA ROUTE: Operating between June 26 – July 5, 2026
Departing from the recently renovated, historic Louisa train depot, the N&W 611 will make her way west across the historic Virginia Central Railroad. This route follows a storied path to the Gordonsville rail junction, an area rich with Civil War history and railroad lore. The course runs through rural landscapes filled with sprawling farms, pine forests, with views across fields of barns and houses. Listen for the whistle at every country road crossing, and watch the crowds gather to witness steam travel through Virginia’s historic railroad communities.
