October 24, 2009: Annandale Fall Parade and Festival

And a great time was had by all!

Thousands of Annandalians lined the streets for our colorful parade and came to the festival (see more photos here!) to enjoy fine local arts and crafts, delicious food from area restaurants, and fun for the whole family

Plan now for the 2010 Annandale Fall Festival and Parade: On Saturday, October 23, 2010, the Annandale Chamber of Commerce will sponsor our annual spectacular Fall Festival in the Safeway parking lot on Little River Turnpike. From 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM dozens of merchants with hand made and fashion jewelry, art work, quality giftware from major manufacturers, exquisite crafts and so much more will unveil their treasures.

Costumed international dancers, local bands, a D.J. and “The Taste of Annandale” with food from many culinary cuisines will be featured at this festival. The Kid’s Zone will delight and challenge with a Mechanical Bull, 24’ Dual Slides, Bungee Basketball, Bungee Run, a Sticky Wall, an Obstacle Course, Moon Bounce, Face Painters, a Nature Exhibit, a Reading Tent with costumed characters, and interactive games for toddlers to teens. The Annual Parade will be held along Columbia Pike from 10:00AM to Noon finishing at the Festival Grounds.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES from $500 to $2,000 are available. Please contact the Chamber office at info@annandalechamber.com or 703-256-7232. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your business with hourly sponsorship announcements at the Parade and Festival, complimentary online advertising in ENDEAVOR, and your company name prominently placed on a sponsorship banner right in the heart of Annandale. This is the largest attended public event in the Greater Annandale area and one of the best opportunities for local advertising.
