Purcellville Music & Arts Festival

Purcellville Music & Arts Festival

If you're looking for an excuse to get out to Loudoun County, this is it. The Purcellville Music & Arts Festival takes over Fireman's Field Park with two stages of live music, an art show inside the historic Bush Tabernacle Skating Rink, and enough kids activities to keep everyone happy. Face painting, glitter tattoos, sidewalk chalk art, and t-shirt decorating keep little hands busy while parents can enjoy the music and browse local art. It's small-town Virginia at its best, the kind of festival where you can actually relax instead of fighting crowds. Pair it with a drive through Loudoun's wine country on the way home.

Parent Tips 💡

• ✓It's about an hour from DC, combine with a stop at a Loudoun County winery or farm on the way back.
• ✓The art activities for kids are in the Bush Tabernacle, head there first if your kids love crafts.
• ✓Bring cash for food vendors, not all accept cards.
• ✓The festival starts at noon, so plan lunch there. Food options are solid.
• ✓It's a grassy, outdoor event, bring sunscreen, blankets, and comfortable shoes.
• ✓Less crowded than DC-area festivals. You can actually sit down and enjoy the music without stressing about the kids.
