Father's Day Country Brunch at Black Twig Sperryville June 21
Justin Follin & The Good Time Band bring live classic country to the Black Twig patio — reservations recommended for this Sunday afternoon celebration
A Father's Day to Remember on the Black Twig Patio
If you're looking for the perfect way to celebrate Dad this Father's Day weekend in the Blue Ridge foothills, The Black Twig Diner & Bar in Sperryville has you covered. On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the historic farm-to-table diner is hosting a Father's Day Classic Country Brunch featuring live music by Justin Follin & The Good Time Band — and the patio doors open at noon.
The band plays from 12 PM to 3 PM, making this an ideal midday outing for families driving in from the DC metro area. Whether Dad is a classic country devotee or just loves good food and a sunny afternoon, the combination of live music, Blue Ridge scenery, and the Black Twig's farm-sourced kitchen is tough to beat.
About Justin Follin & The Good Time Band
Justin Follin brings an authentic classic country sound that fits the Black Twig's rustic, down-home atmosphere perfectly. The Good Time Band's style — rooted in the kind of country that fills a Sunday afternoon with warmth — makes this more than background music. Expect the kind of performance that gets boots tapping and keeps tables lingering over a second round.
The Black Twig: More Than a Setting
The Black Twig Diner & Bar operates out of the historic Sperryville Schoolhouse on Lee Highway — a converted landmark that adds genuine character to every visit. The venue describes itself as a family-owned, farm-to-table operation, and its patio is one of the most inviting outdoor dining spots in Rappahannock County when the summer weather cooperates.
The brunch format is well-suited to a leisurely Father's Day pace: come early for a table, settle in with the music, and let the afternoon unfold. All are welcome — this is a community event, not a ticketed affair — but table reservations are strongly recommended given the holiday timing and the draw of live music.
Make a Weekend of It
Sperryville is one of those towns where a single destination easily expands into a full day. After brunch, the surrounding blocks offer pottery studios, galleries, and boutique shops within easy walking distance. The approach to Shenandoah National Park and Old Rag Mountain trailheads is just up the road, making it a natural stop for families who want to mix food and the outdoors.
If you're making the drive from Northern Virginia or the DC area, Route 211 west from Warrenton puts you in Sperryville in roughly 90 minutes — easily doable for a Sunday brunch excursion.
