Williamsburg Independent editor George Arbogust talks about Visit Williamsburg’s debut at the 2026 Philadelphia Flower Show alongside Busch Gardens and Amtrak Virginia, showcasing the region ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. Their floral display drew strong interest, and CEO Ed Harris said Philadelphians were incredibly enthusiastic about what the Historic Triangle has to offer. Amtrak’s discounted Share Fares aim to convert that excitement into visits — and the momentum is already building. Overnight stays in the area are up 11 percent, a sign that Williamsburg’s moment may be just getting started.
