The City of Fairfax would like to invite you to join in celebrating the 35th annual Fall Festival. What started out as a small market for artisans to display their wares has grown to a festival with over 400 arts, crafts, information, food & gourmet food vendors, children's activities and fabulous musical entertainment. This year's Fall Festival will be even bigger and better with the closing of North Street to bring the festival more into downtown Fairfax.

Mount Vernon welcomes the autumn season with activities including wagon rides, wheat treading in the 16-sided barn, 18th-century dancing demonstrations, a straw bale maze, apple-roasting, corn husk doll making demonstrations and early-American music. Potomac River sightseeing cruises are half-price, courtesy of Spirit Cruises and the Potomac Riverboat Company.


Oct 26, Town of Vienna

Address: Maple Avenue and Branch Road, Vienna, VA
Times: 7pm
Admission: FREE
If you haven't been to the Vienna Halloween Parade before, you're in for a treat! Begun in the 1940s by the Vienna Businessman's Association (now the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce), the Parade was originally a gathering of local kids so they could show off their costumes to the Town of Vienna. Even now that the Parade draws big name entertainment and a crowd of ten of thousands, the costumed children are still a key element-- they gather at 6:30pm at Virginia Commerce Bank and lead the Parade down Maple Ave.
