4 reviews for Herndon Festival
We've been to this. It shouldn't be under "performing arts". It should be under "Hilarious People Watching Venues". It was crowded, loud, the people were generally nice and a very unusual crowd. Three blocks of booths of weird stuff. There was a joke every 5 minutes. We got a great characature (I have not idea how to spell that) which was the highlight of our week. It's Like Viva Vienna on crack.
If you have kids the rides and carnival is fun. They have fireworks and live music. Must go to.

Having grown up in Herndon, I have been to the festival nearly every year for the past 25 odd years. As I have grown, my love for the Herndon Festival has never wavered. The event is full of things to do for young and old alike. For the crafty folk out there, visit on the weekend, which is also when there is the most food vendors. Thursday night is usually my favorite night however, as it isn't quite as crowded, and the music is followed by fireworks.

This is an annual festival runnings for 4 days over the first weekend in June. In terms of small town fairs this one is tops with great music, vendors and a high energy level. Did I mention the fireworks? Each year these are among the best fireworks going. The opening Thursday night has a good display but the Saturday night show is great with a 20 minute long amazing pyrotechnics display that is perfectly choreographed to the accompanying music. The song lyrics even align with the displays lighting up the sky. A variety of bands pay on several different stages throughout the festival and carnival rides and booths keep the area packed till late at night. Best to park in Reston and walk.
