Loudoun County, VA Events – Week of Nov 1st – 7, 2019

Events

Fall finally feels like it is here after the Halloween rain storms brought in colder weather.  We can now finally pull out the sweaters and turtlenecks after having a really warm October with several t-shirt, shorts and flip flop days.

Starting off in November, we have a few fun things to add to the calendar.  In addition to the events below, be sure to follow us on our Facebook page, 365 Things to do in Loudoun County, where you will find fun things posted daily.  If you know of an event or have an event you would like to see featured, please email us at [email protected].  Would be happy to help you get the word out!

Wrapping up Halloween this weekend are two fun events.  Loudoun’s Largest Halloween Party is on Nov 2nd at the National Conference Center.  For more details check out Loudoun’s Largest Halloween Party on Facebook.   And what better way to say goodbye to Halloween than Great Country Farm’s annual Pumpkin Chunkin?  Smash a few pumpkins and then head up the mountain to either the Bluemont Vineyard or Dirt Farm Brewing.. if you go to Dirt Farm, check out their new paved road!  Huge progress over there!  For more info on the Pumpkin Chunkin, head over to the Great Country Farms event page

         

Night at the Library

Tonight is the Night at the Library.  Kind of reminds me of the movie, Night at the Museum.. is that the name of that movie where the museum comes alive?  If not, leave a comment below to remind me of the name!  This event will take you through some of the unusual collections and a sneak peak at the Museum’s art storage collection and the rare book room.  Enjoy an evening of surprises to include antique dog collars, Paul Mellon’s riding boots and the weird world of four footed beasts and books in the vaults of the Library.

          Hungry for some Oysters?  Head on over to Creek’s Edge Winery!

     If you aren’t an oyster fan, but like seafood, Dirt Farm Brewery is hosting

the Second Annual Low Country Boil + Spill The Tea Beer Release!

Be safe if you are doing your own fireworks and if you can let your neighbors know you are lighting fireworks, I’m sure they would appreciate it.  Many animals are afraid and giving the neighbors some notice so they can appropriately care  for their pets.

15 Things to Do on Mother’s Day

Events, Local

As a daughter, I’ve always tried to come up with something to do for my mom that she would enjoy.  Somehow though with all the spring activities, this day creeps up to me and then I’m found to be scrambling for ideas.  If you are still looking for some things to do, check out this list and hopefully it will help you give your wife or mom a lovely day.

A trip to a winery is always a great treat.  Here are a few of our favorites:

  1.  Breaux Vineyards is hosting “Moms and Macaroons on Sunday.  Wine pairings with 4 different macaroons are held hourly. https://www.breauxvineyards.com/events/moms-and-macarons/
  2. Enjoy a garden party at the Stables in Bluemont Vineyard.  Make your own flower bouquet from Firefly Flower Farm and if the weather holds up you can play lawn games     like corn hole or jenga.  https://www.bluemontvineyard.com/events-calendar/mothers-day-stable-bluemont-vineyard
  3. MomosaBar for Mother’s Day at Greenhill Winery and Vineyards  https://www.facebook.com/events/828010690899597/
  4. Treat mom to a private photo shoot at Winery 32!

If your mom is a beer drinker, here are a couple options:

5.  Your mom might enjoy the views at Harpers Ferry Brewing on Sunday.  Not only do you have great river views but their singer on Mothers Day, Mark Cullinane isn’t so bad to look at either!  https://www.facebook.com/pg/HarpersFerryBrewing/events/?ref=page_internal

6.  Dirt Farm is always a favorite too and this weekend they have their Strawberry Wheat Release that sounds  yummy!! http://dirtfarmbrewing.com

7. Celebrate Mom at Old 690 Brewery! Homegrown Foodies Food Truck will be here serving up their farm to table creations from Noon – 5:00 PM.  https://www.facebook.com/events/325252414857892/

Brunch, Lunch or Dinner!

8.  The restaurant at Patowmack Farm is always a favorite, but you need to make reservations as they may be booked.  For a farm fresh dining experience, this will sure to be a big hit.  https://www.patowmackfarm.com/

9. Another pick could be the Grandale Vintners Table on Harpers Ferry Road.  Enjoy a stress free day drinking wine slushies and eating tasty food from the Grill at 868!  Bring the kids and dogs as well!  https://www.grandalerestaurant.com/events/

10.  For an award winning romantic country inn with phenomenal views, the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg is a winner.  Brunch requires reservations but dinner does not.  http://www.goodstone.com/

11.  Lansdowne Resort  https://www.lansdowneresort.com/events/mothers-day?utm_source=VisitLoudoun&utm_medium=Event&utm_campaign=MothersDay&utm_content=Event

12. Tuscarora Mill is one of my personal favorites – you probably need a reservation to get a table though  www.tuskies.com

13.  Magnolia’s at the Mill is also an excellent choice  https://www.magnoliasmill.com/

14. The Conche is now serving brunc

15.  And lastly another favorite is the Blue Ridge Grill

Hope this helps!
