The Arts on the Avenue festival in Alexandria's Del Ray neighborhood is really more than "just" an arts festival.  It's a celebration of doing what you love and sharing it with the rest of the world. 

It's also a celebration of what makes Del Ray an exciting place to live - a vibrant main street (Mt. Vernon Avenue), small, independently owned businesses, a variety of restaurants that are kid and dog friendly, a thriving business association, and folks who are actively involved in being "neighborly". 

We love this video from one of our favorite performing groups at the festival - Tappers with Attitude.  Haven't you ever wanted to put on a pair of tap shoes and 'strut your stuff'?  Take a hint from these folks and JUST DO IT.
