What a fantastic time we had at the 2023 Alexandria Fall Festival! The weather was simply perfect, treating us to a picture-perfect Sunday filled with autumn charm. As guests arrived at River Farm, they were greeted by a beautiful setup of pumpkins and hay bales, surrounded by the breathtaking hues of red, yellow, and orange trees along the Potomac River.

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to sponsor and connect with so many local neighbors, friends, new families, and fellow Alexandrians. We hope you had as much fun as we did! Events like these are what make our community so vibrant and close-knit, and we're proud to be a part of it. We loved talking with you, meeting your family, and enjoying Sunday’s beautiful fall weather. It was the best day!

There was no shortage of fun activities to enjoy. Face painting by Sunrise Face Painting was a big hit for our little festival-goers as they waited for The Great Zucchini magic shows to begin. The bounce house, inflatable slide, and lawn games were also crowd favorites for young families along with caricature drawings by Capital Artworks and pony rides and petting zoos by Mary's Go Round Petting Zoo kept the little ones busy. From Goodies Frozen Custard & Treats to Rocklands Barbeque, and even local beverage producers like Port City Brewing Co. and Lost Boy Cider, the food and drink offerings were a hit with lines well worth the wait. 

The festival brought the community together, and we extend our big thanks to activity sponsors: Alto, Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group, Burke & Herbert Bank, Clique Sitter, First Impression Orthodontics, Get Fit Studio, Renewal by Andersen, TING, and West End Village.

We trust you had as much fun as we did, and we're eagerly looking forward to welcoming you back at the next Alexandria Fall Festival. In the meantime, keep an eye out for upcoming holiday events, The Patterson Group wishes you a truly fantastic fall season!
