September 11th, 2008 Categories: Alexandria, Old Town
There are 5 great reasons to visit Alexandria’s Sixth Annual Festival of the Arts this coming weekend, September 13-14:
- It is one of the top 100 art fairs in the country.
- Artist demonstrations and hands on activities at the Torpedo Factory Art Center.
- A family “respite” area in the yard of historic Christ Church Alexandria with refreshments and moon-bounce.
- More than $15 million in spectacular paintings, life-size sculptures, handcrafted jewelry, photography, ceramics and more.
- A chance to purchase original pieces and talk to the artists.
Plus you’ll have a chance to mosey around Old Town, check out the Alexandria Waterfront, sample myriad shops and restaurants and maybe even check out a few open houses!
The festival will run from 10:00am to 7:00pm on Saturday and from 10:00am to 5:00pm on Sunday. Coming in from the District or outside the beltway? Take Metro to King Street and then ride the King Street Trolley up, its so easy.
See you there,
Michael
