Colonial Williamsburg features pleasant weather, lots of fun and fascinating events, and small crowds of visitors travelling back in time to Virginia‘s capital during the American Revolution.
During mid-January to mid-March, the crowds are smallest in Williamsburg. Winter is a good time to tour the historic buildings and visit the tradesmen working in their shops.
Late March to late May is one of the nicest times in Williamsburg. The crowds are usually manageable, though they do swell during school breaks.
Memorial Day weekend to mid-September is the worst time to visit Williamsburg, with July and August the worst of the worst. The weather in Virginia is miserable.
During mid-September to Thanksgiving, Williamsburg becomes nice again. Programming remains robust with events, and the taverns are open.
