6. Astronomy Virtual Family Day - Soar Together @ Air and Space is a monthly family program from the National Air and Space Museum. Through live events and interactive activities you can do anytime, your family can explore a different air and space topic every month. In September, we’ll help you and your family get ready to gaze at the stars and enjoy all the sky has to offer. Through activities and live programs, your family will learn the basics of observing the sky, including how to prepare for observing, what amazing celestial objects you can find with just your eyes, and how to share that experience with each other. No matter where you are, you can use these simple tools to look up and explore.
7. 51st Annual Bluemont Fair - Bring your family and friends to the annual Bluemont Fair and take a day to wander through our 200-year-old village nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. Browse our artisan crafts and enjoy local wine, beer, and music, all while experiencing the history and traditions of our area. Grab a bite to eat or attend an archaeology demonstration while the children enjoy free games in the Children’s Fair or visit the petting zoo. Breathe in some mountain air, have fun, learn something new, and start checking off that holiday gift list, all for less than the price of a movie. (And kids 9 and under get in free!) See you at the Fair!
