Hi Stephanie,
This is technically in DC, not Northern VA, but I though I’d let you know about it.
Another event this weekend is the 25th annual Kennedy Center Open House Arts Festival and Multicultural Children’s Book Festival in DC. It goes from 12 pm – 7 pm tomorrow, Sat. 9/12/09 and is free. More information on it is here: http://630wmal.com/Article.asp?id=1472816&spid=32949 and here: http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/festivals/openhouse/
Thanks for your regular posts on the free and cheap weekend events going on in our area!
Assuming it stops raining, there’s a big festival over here in Burke Centre with wine, craft booth, antiques, etc. It’s free to attend, and there is plenty for the kids to do, but there are also paid activities like bounce houses and such.
