Veterans Day Federal Holiday*

This is one of the few unique holidays that is locked to a specific day: November 11. But it’s also a federal and bank holiday. This year the Federal Holiday is on Friday, November 10.
Veterans Day is a remembrance of all U.S. military veterans – past and present. It is celebrated every November 11, and has been a federal holiday since 1926.
* Because most Federal Employees work on a Monday to Friday schedule, when a holiday falls on a weekend the holiday is observed on the closest regular workday. The holiday is observed on Friday if the holiday falls on Saturday and Monday if the holiday falls on Sunday (5 U.S.C. 6103 (b)(2)).

Happy Halloween!
2023-10-31 | Virginia
Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2023 will occur on Tuesday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

City of Fairfax Parade
2023-07-04 10:00 - 12:00 | City of Fairfax Downtown, VA, United States
INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE
July 4th, 2023
10am – Noon
Downtown Fairfax
Rain or Shine
The City of Fairfax’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967. Organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, the parade has developed into the largest in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parade has all the requisite ingredients for the Fourth of July: marching bands, floats, Shriners’ little cars and big motorcycles, old fire engines, clowns, and the scorching sun. The parade has featured flyovers by the Flying Circus Aerodrome — and, in 1996, a hot air balloon race. Historically, the parade has been followed by an Old-Fashioned Fireman’s Day, in which area fire companies compete in firefighter-related activities; however, it has now turned into the “Future Fire Fighter’s Day”, which provides children’s activities on fire safety and education.
We hope you’ll come out and celebrate with us!
