The LOVE Letters Are Coming to Merchants Square

April 17, 2015

The LOVE Letters Are Coming!
April 17 - 23 On Duke Of Gloucester Street In Merchants Square

Come to see the Virginia LOVE work sculpture, and participate in our
Share The LOVE sweepstakes by entering your favorite photos if you choose!

What is the LOVEwork sculpture?

Traveling through Virginia, you have undoubtedly seen the iconic LOVE letters at various sites around the state. The letters have never been to Williamsburg, but in an agreement with the Virginia Tourism Corporation and working with the Garden Clubs of Virginia to time the arrival for Historic Garden Week, the letters will reside right on Duke of Gloucester Street in Merchants Square April 17-23, 2015.


Staff from David Everett's restaurants enjoy a light moment during a road trip. Pictured left to right: Michael Claar (DoG Street Pub), Scott Hoyland (Blue Talon Bistro), Louise Wood (The Trellis Restaurant), Geri Butler (Blue Talon Bistro) and Mark Thomas (The Trellis Restaurant).
