August 21 – August 23, 2026 · 27 events
This weekend in Alexandria, Virginia brings 27 live events across the city — from community to music to arts & culture. 2 events are explicitly listed as free. Here's what's on.
Alexandria is home to the Birchmere, one of America's premier listening rooms — a 500-seat hall where audiences actually listen, and where legends of country, folk, bluegrass, and soul have played for five decades. Old Town's King Street corridor adds year-round festivals, waterfront concerts, and one of the region's most walkable evening scenes, anchored by the Torpedo Factory Art Center on the Potomac. The Scottish Christmas Walk parade each December nods to the city's founders, and summer brings outdoor music to the waterfront parks. Minutes from Washington but firmly its own town, Alexandria delivers history and live music in equal measure.
10 events are listed for Sunday, including Karaoke Night at Rock it Grill, West End Farmers Market — Sunday at West End Farmers Market, Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market — Sunday at Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market, Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House: Friends Gather Here- A Legacy of Two Communities at Woodlawn at Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House. Events that start earlier in the weekend may still be running Sunday; open an event for its current schedule.
