Historic Downtown Mount Airy resides at the trailhead of the Blue Ridge Mountains where our urban living is enhanced by the serene beauty of the rolling foothills. Downtown is the heartbeat of the community and grows the pulse of local art, live music, abundant shopping, local wine, craft brews, authentic dining experiences, and gracious hospitality. Fostering a diverse variety of small businesses, services, and friendly people, Mount Airy is a true Southern Town with all the charm of Mayberry. We're known for being Andy Griffith's hometown, so tourists flock to Mount Airy looking for Mayberry, and they do find a piece of that nostalgia for simpler times, but they also discover a much more diverse and forward moving community of creative people.
