Annandale Fall Festival

ANNANDALE FALL FESTIVAL:  It’s Bigger and Better than Ever!

On Saturday, October 27, 2012, the Annandale Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a spectacular Fall Festival in the Safeway parking lot on Little River Turnpike. This is the largest public event in Greater Annandale attended by over 10,000 people.  From 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM one hundred merchants with hand made and fashion jewelry, fashion accessories, imported silks & quality handbags will offer their wares in the Community Arts & Craft Market.  Stylists will also be here to show you the latest fashion trends and suggest accessories to update your wardrobe. 

Artisan crafts will be represented in the form of high end ceramics, wood carvings & Marquetry.  A score of Pet Vendors made their debut last year to rave reviews.  This festival will again feature a broad range of clever pet accessories, dog Trainers & Walkers, gourmet pet food, and pet adoption providers. Children’s books & toys, endearing marionettes, herbal wraps & wreaths, quality giftware from major manufacturers, exquisite handcrafts and so much more will round out the community market.  This is a festival where you can begin and complete your holiday shopping.

In the Food & Entertainment Zone, Rock, Country & Jazz Bands, along with Costumed International Dancers will set your toes tapping while “The Taste of Annandale,” with food from many culinary cuisines, will satisfy every taste craving. Try Japanese, Thai, Nigerian, Greek, Italian, Latin, or the perennial favorites such as barbeque, Philly cheese steaks, snow cones, funnel cakes, home brewed root beer, and Kettle Corn.

In the Kid’s Zone a full day of fun awaits.  The Toddler Play Area will be back with age appropriate games such as the Bubble Booth and the Lil’ Pirate Moon Bounce.  Puppet Shows, Storytelling & Face Painters are scheduled for your entertainment in The Secret Garden.  The ever pleasing Obstacle Course & Bungee Jump are planned along with interactive & inflatable games.   New model cars, fire trucks and the Nationwide Nascar with Simulator sponsored by Burke & Burke Insurance await your exploration!
