Art on the Avenue

Saturday, October 4th, Del Ray is the site for an all day long festival of the arts. You’ll find crafts, jewelry, paintings, sculpture, music and wearable art along Mount Vernon Avenue from Oxford Street to Glebe Road. Go early to catch the Farmers’ Market at Oxford and Mt. Vernon and walk across the street for coffee under the umbrellas. When you are hungry for a snack, try the famous Milwaukee frozen custard at the Dairy Godmother. There are kid’s activities along the way as well as retailer’s Halloween decorations to see. Stop at the Taqueria for some Mexican food or plan to stay until evening for a gourmet meal at Evening Star. Boutiques and shops will be open. Take home some fancy cheese from Cheestique or pick up their picnic food to eat along the way. One of Alexandria’s most popular areas to live and shop, Del Ray is the place to be this Saturday. From Braddock Road Metro, west on Braddock and right on Mt. Vernon.
