Friday Night Live Concert Series

Sonja Adams

While not in Loudoun County, Herndon's Friday Night Live Concert Series is a big hit and close to eastern Loudoun. Its one of my favorite things to do in the summer.

Friday Night Live is celebrating its 15th year of hosting outdoor concerts outside the town hall in Herndon...started out with sparse attendance when dogs were allowed to join their human friends...this concert grew rapidly and unfortunately its so big that our furry friends are not allowed to attend.

If you are looking for something to do with a group of single friends or with the family, I highly recommend checking this out...its free...there are food and drink concession stands and the line-up of bands is always excellent.

The schedule for 2009 is:

  • May 1 - 2U and Road Soda
  • May 8 - Lost in Paris
  • May 15 - Laura Lea and Tripp Fabulous
  • May 22 - Black Sheep
  • May 29 - Herndon Festival - no bands for Friday night live, but the Festival will have bands
  • June 5 - Burnt Sienna
  • June 12 - Monster Band
  • June 19 - Dr FU
  • June 26 - Love Seed Mama Jump
  • July 3 - Crowded Streets + 8 Track Jones
  • July 10 - Flip Like Wilson
  • July 17 - Kristen and the Noise
  • July 24 - B2B
  • July 31 - Junk Food + Fools and Horses
  • August 7 - Hyjink + Rise and Fall
  • August 14 - Gonzo's Nose
  • August 21 - Drop Dead Sexy
  • August 28 - Go Go Gadjet

Hope to see you all out there this season!

Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival This Weekend - April 18th and 19th

I attended the Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival this weekend and was very impressed. It was with utter amazement that I walked by the designers who brought landscape designs to King Street that looked like they have been in your backyard for years.

The plants were fabulous as well as the garden related gift vendors....I was a big supporter of the Orchid Stand buying one of the gorgeous purple hanging orchids below....

If you are thinking about going next year, don't miss this once a year festival...its well worth the $3 to attend!

The Dulles Little League started their season with an opening day parade through Ashburn on Saturday. The little leaguers started out on Shellhorn Road at St. Teresa's Church and walked to Crittenden Park on Windmill Drive at 9:00 am.

The teams each had banners proudly displayed for their team and the parade was led by police escort...once the teams arrived, the fun and games began for the afternoon with many activities for the kids and vendors for everyone to visit. The folks from Kinkora and supporters for a minor league baseball team were also in attendance.
