Come enjoy great food, live music, a train ride and other family-friendly activities when the town of Clifton puts on Clifton Day, an annual, festival held in one of Northern Virginia’s most beautiful and historic areas. This year’s event is on Sunday, October 12 from 9 am until 5 pm.
Around 150 antique dealers, artists, bakers and other street vendors will line the town’s streets. Live bands, horseback rides, craft demonstrations, children’s activities, a Civil War reenactment and a wide selection of food and beverage choices will add to the fun.
Clifton Day is the only day of the year when the train stops in the town. Festival goers can take the Virginia Railway Express (VRE), which will provide roundtrip train service to Clifton from all stops between Manassas and Rolling Road. The train ride to Clifton is free and the return trip costs $5 per person (children under age two ride free).
Admission is free. Parking starts at five dollars per car. For more information about Clifton Day, visit the event’s website (www.cliftonday.com) or follow the Clifton Betterment Association on Twitter (@CBACliftonVA).
