Taste of Annandale returns this weekend

The annual Taste of Annandale event returns this weekend, bringing a little bit of everything to 7200 Columbia Pike.

The free event is set for Saturday, Sept. 20 from 10:30 a.m.- 6 p.m. with a truly ecclectic array of activities.

Activities listed for the event include:

  • A 5k race
  • Food vendors and local brews
  • Live entertainment
  • A pet contest
  • A petting zoo

The project is sponsored by the Annandale-Mason Roundtable.

The “Animaldale” petting zoo and an eating contest (seperate events) are two new features this year.

“The 2024 Taste of Annandale was a huge success, bringing together thousands of people to enjoy food and entertainment reflecting the diverse cultures of the community,” the event listing said. “This year’s festival promises to be even better.”
