We’ve been lucky to get some pretty amazing weather, so I suppose we can’t complain about a few soggy days.
It might be a wet week, but there are plenty of great things to do this week indoors and out.
Two summer festivals are happening this weekend, the Filipino Festival Friday and Saturday with lots of music dancing and traditional Filipino foods like lechón, empanadas, leche flan and more.
Then it’s off to the Carytown Watermelon Festival on Sunday, and although it’s looking pretty good for reasonable temperatures this year, you might want to check out these tips to enjoy Virginia’s largest one-day festival.
You can always find something in our RVA Summer Guide for great things to do all summer long and save a little green around town with our Savvy Saver App.
Have a great week!
