Time is ticking! Be Part of Visit Williamsburg’s Pancake Trail

Visit Williamsburg is thrilled to roll out our upcoming Pancake Trail Pass marketing initiative this September, and there are only a few days left to get involved! 

We’re calling on local restaurants and cafes that serve pancakes and other breakfast favorites to showcase their best dishes—along with special offers, discounts, or featured menu items. We’re also welcoming affordable hotel packages and exclusive local deals to help visitors enjoy the full Williamsburg experience. Don’t miss this fun and flavorful opportunity to be part of a campaign that highlights the best of Williamsburg mornings. To participate, please send a description and images of your pancake/breakfast deal, hotel package, or discount to Emma Schmitz by the end of the week.
