Can you believe that it is already June?! We can’t either!  However, we know that June is a lively month with great outdoor festivals right around us at Lakeside.  Take advantage of the amazing June weather we have in Virginia with one of the following local festivals!

 

Herndon Festival

The town of Herndon brings together live entertainment (3 different stages), arts and crafts show, a business expo, an entire children’s area of hands-on crafts, food vendors, a fitness expo and a firework display on Saturday night for its 36th annual festival!

 

Vintage Virginia Wine & Food Festival

If you love food and wine, especially those from Virginia, do not miss out on this annual event at Bull Run Special Events Center.  Celebrating its 35th year, this wine and food festival showcases over 30 Virginia wineries, regional food, popular DC food trucks, live music from local bands, and even activities for kids.

 

Celebrate Fairfax

June 10-12

 

Take part in Northern Virginia’s largest annual community-wide celebration dedicated to our own county we live in, Fairfax! Besides the usual findings of a summertime festival like carnival rides and fried dough, Celebrate Fairfax will also have the Fairfax County Karaoke Championship, a craft beer garden and nightly fireworks.  Also, this year, live entertainment will be provided by Plain White T’s on Friday night, B-52’s on Saturday night and Living Colour Sunday afternoon!

 

Manassas Wine & Jazz Festival

Looking for something to do this Father’s Day? Head over to the Manassas Museum lawn to take in the sounds of jazz music with Marcus Johnson as the headliner.  Bring your lawn chairs and blankets to listen to the music while sipping and tasting the many different varieties and selections of local wines and food!
