Port City Brewery had the Belgian white ale & India pale ale, but we went for the Belgian white ale (my all time fav) and it was the perfect drink on a beautiful day watching the Caps!! Everyone was out along with children, dogs & grandparents, enjoying the fun festival on a lovely Saturday! Definitely have to go check out Port City Brewery with friends!!!

Over the years, Viva Vienna has become a beloved family tradition! I'm not much of a carnival goer,…read morebut the fact that there is plenty of parking and a hop, skip, and a jump away from home makes it a winner in my book (perfect for those late afternoon toddler meltdowns!). My favorite place to park is near the Vienna Community Center and taking a short walk on the W&OD Trail. I've been doing this for years and it has worked out almost 95% of the time. Other must dos: - Watch the Vienna Singing Princess show (it truly is an hour of campy Disney-esque bliss) - Spinning teacups, carousel, and the spinning dragon ride - Grabbing all the fun free schwag in the vendor area - Moose Juice and funnel cake for the kiddos, chicken on the stick for the boy - Allllll the carnival games This year they switched out paper tickets to a card system. I still had some leftover tickets from last year and they were able to exchange without an issue. We have gone in the rain and on sunny days and it's always a blast. You will always run into a neighbor and it makes me feel like I'm on the set of some small town television show.

Don't put your name in the beginning of the entrance (bunch of computers) for the raffle. Not sure…read morehow they allow this to go on as a "raffle", it is just a information gathering tool so that people from "VVR rewards" can sell you on a timeshare You get a call that says you are eligible to win a gift card up to $200. Also, that you have won a trip to Williamsburg Virginia. The fair overall was OK but them allowing these type of vendors and not disclosing. The purpose is not a good look.

Beautiful venue for beautiful festival. Please note that…read morethere is more vendors right off the plaza in the mall space. The winner and best meal that month was my eel with rice, vegetables, avocado and sweet sauce. So good and worth paying good price for it. There is also a playground on the plaza for the kids. Free parking and no entrance fee. (see review for Viet Fest @ the same venue) Entertainment rolls smoothly - from rappers to traditional dance and back. In 2016 the festival will be Oct 1-2.

A cute little park in downtown Vienna. My dog loves being outdoors and parks but we like to avoid…read moreanywhere crowded as he gets excited very easily. We stopped by at this park today because our usual one was too full. This one was nice and empty for him. It had just enough room for him to explore and have fun. Lots of trash cans available for doggie #2 too. Parking was easy right on the street. They had a little free library as well. They had bathrooms that were pretty clean and even a doggie water fountain (and a water fountain specifically to refill your water bottle). It was a nice surprise that this little park had so many amenities. I'll definitely be back as my dog really enjoyed himself!!

There was a summer several years ago where I stumbled upon the CW sitcom "Hart of Dixie" on Netflix…read moreand binge-watched the entire series within a few days. There was something so magical about the community of Bluebell, Alabama and all of the traditions and activities they had that was very compelling to watch. I believe the Town of Vienna is the closest to Bluebell situation we have going here in Northern Virginia and I have definitely been taking advantage of all the family-friendly activities that they offer. The Vienna Town Green is home to a lot of them (including a free summer concert series). A few friends and I packed up a picnic and watched a show while our kiddos ran around with new friends catching fireflies and blowing bubbles. I honestly can't think of a better way to spend a random Wednesday night!

23rd Annual Middle Eastern Food Festival was a great event. I missed 22 other years but I will be…read morecoming again. The staff is incredibly organized, it feels more like an organized Japanese, not Middle East Festival. Everything is presented nicely in different and multiple formats (plates, hand brochure or large food panel with pictures) so it is really hard not to know what is available. Hosts are welcoming and asking how they can assist. The only improvement would be to place a schedule of events on the website so people can gauge what event they want to attend (dance, or roasted lamb dinner or whatever else). There are many ethnic drinks offered and they complement great food. I had a Kibbeh Platter and it was so good that I wanted to meet the lady cook. This is really easy festival to remember because it always during the Labor day weekend. There is a lot of stuff for the kids (free pony rides for example) in the large backyard or you can have a church tour. The assembly hall is large and Arabic music entertained us entire time. The Sweets table is a LONG table with any baklava that you may think off (walnuts, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, ...) Sweets that I tried were all very tasty. I leave this place with a satisfied belly and notion that everything was perfect and I credit the great hosts for that.

Good social media marketing, poor experience. My toddler did…read moreenjoy the 2 minute light walk through. There was misinformation on the website about the ages required to pay and their platform that they used fever refused to refund my money because they said it was up to the vendor. The manager on site acted like they would do it and showed me a QR code . The vendor said it was up to fever. It was just a back-and-forth of neither of them wanting to refund my money.

You can reach it via metro or park in a huge garage at the Mall. Food is very good and reasonably priced - between 3$ and $8. Sandwiches(banh mi) , soups(pho) and egg rolls are available.
