Get ready for the 13th Annual Clarendon Day festivities coming to Clarendon on Saturday, September 25, 2010.
The festival, to be held rain or shine on Saturday, September 25 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., is geared toward all ages and offers a day full of food, music, art, fitness classes, kids’ activities, health screenings and more.
This year will differ from years past, as the Clarendon Alliance has teamed up with the Virginia Hospital Center Foundation to combine this event with VHCF’s Family Fun Day, creating two events for you to enjoy.
Things to look forward to this year: 5k/10k Run and Kids Dash Hosted by Pacers, live music on 2 stages hosted by local celebrities Morris Jones and Ben Eisler, food from over 15 local restaurants, vendors, and other entertainment. For more details as they’re unveiled, visit the Clarendon Day website.
Don’t forget, proceeds from the event go to benefit our local non-profit Doorways for Women and Families, the Clarendon Alliance, and the VHCF.
Event location will take place all around the Clarendon Metro.
