Still missing the Herndon Festival…..,

07/12/2024

Due to the expectation of continuing rain, we are cancelling Friday Night Live! for tonight. We were hoping the skies would clear up a bit but it is unlikely so we've decided to allow the band, vendors, and our volunteers to plan accordingly rather than invest their time and resources into prepping for an event that will not happen.

Please take this opportunity to support our local restaurants through dine in, take out, or delivery. We will be supporting our food vendors and sponsors: Dairy Queen, Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Toriz's Tacos, Wiseguy Pizza, Mile 20 at Mediterranean Breeze, and Ned Devine's Irish Gastro Pub and Restaurant.

We will see you next week on the Green for Herr Metal + Dr FU and every Friday through August 23.
