The Party Starts Here has been locally owned and operated in Charlottesville, Virginia for 25 years. It is our mission to offer top of the line customer service combined with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Over the years we have supported many local organizations such as Jefferson Swim League, YMCA, Albemarle County and Charlottesville City schools; various little league teams, and many local churches. The Party Starts Here has the largest selection of party supplies and costumes in Central Virginia! This website is not a complete list of everything we carry in our physical store, but it is an extensive representation of the selection we have.
