herndon festival
The June 5 First Friday attractions include music ranging from acoustic rock to soulful ballads and from a piano quartet to Latin American folk music, as well as wine tastings and plenty of art.
In Herndon, Friday Night Live has a festival atmosphere. Each week, from May through August, Herndon hosts a free concert from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. on the town green. A crowd of children gather in front of the stage having a grand time, with their parents standing back, having their own fun while watching over them. Tips are accepted; they're donated to Herndon High School's after-prom and all-night graduation parties.
Friday Night Live is on hold this week because of the Herndon Festival, which will offer plenty of music as well as other events downtown during the weekend. Burnt Sienna plays when Friday Night Live resumes June 5.

The Herndon Festival is coming!Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 28 - Sunday, May 31.
Now, the first time I went to the Herndon Festival was many years ago by pure accident, when we ordered a pizza to pick up from the middle of Herndon and didn't realize the festival would make getting there and back almostimpossible. In the hours it took us to retrieve dinner, I got a good look at all the goings-on. Lots fun for the whole family , even the littlest ones. Be sure to park and take advantage of the shuttles so you don't repeat my pizza debacle. Shuttles stop at Worldgate Shopping Center and Herndon High School.
