One of the things I love about living in Northern Virginia is the vast array of things to do to fit any personal style or budget. I like to consider myself a renaissance man and can pretty much enjoy anything with good company and good weather. If you are new to NOVA or perhaps just looking for something to occupy your time between football season, like me, then have a look at a few of the activities I have attended in the area and maybe mark them on your calendar:
1) "Twilight Polo" @ Great Meadows Polo Club. The Plains, Va- I attended this event this past Saturday, 7-31-10 and had a great time! The charge is $30 per car and it is bring your own food and beverages. The event was very family-friendly with music and events for kids and adults who like to act like kids(like me)! Great matches and good company, equals good times!
2) "Great Grapes" @ Reston, Va Town Center- Held in both April and September, I attended the Spring Festival in Reston Town Center and I had blast! Tickets were $25 and I received a complimentary wine glass. Another good time! I plan on attending the September 11 & 12 event as well.
3) Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival @ Reston, VA Town Center- May 15 & 16th, I attended the Saturday event and was awestruck by all the artist work lining the streets. With a variety of works (sculptures, watercolors, still life, jewelry, etc.), one could stay for hours and admire all the talent. The pics below are a few of my favorites I snapped with my Iphone.
4) Gold Cup- @ Great Meadows. The Plains, VA- Held in May and October, this is another good time to come out and enjoy the weather, races and goofy hats!
5) Starlight Drive-In Cinema- Centreville,Va- I have to commend Fairfax County for this Family Friendly FREE event (say that as fast as you can 3 times in a row!). This starts in August and should be a good time to meet new people and enjoy the flicks!
These are just a few of many things Northern Virginia has to offer should you be wanting to take a break from work and live life a little(a notion I need to remind myself of). If you are wanting to find other things to do by counties in NOVA, then click the links below:
