Herndon Labor Day Festival is Back on Monday!
Here's schedule info on hours, location, which wineries will be there, and the live musical acts performing this year.
The Labor Day weekend is almost upon us - and, in Herndon, that means one thing for sure - the Herndon Labor Day Festival!
The Town is already prepping for this year's festival, to take place on Monday, Sept. 2 from 12-6 p.m. on the Town Green at 777 Lynn Street next to the Municipal Building.
Not only will there be a wide range of live music, 12 local Virginia wineries and microbreweries, a craft show and sponsorship gallery, culinary demonstrations and food vendors, but you can feel good knowing that a percentage of the proceeds from the festival benefit local schoalrship programs.
The Town of Herndon Parks and Recreation Department produces the event, working in conjunction with the Herndon Woman’s Club.
