There are plenty of reasons to celebrate this weekend.
The Columbia Pike Blues Festival is back. For many, it’s a three-day weekend for the Juneteenth federal holiday, and Sunday marks Father’s Day.
When making plans, keep in mind there will be road closures for a few events. The Blues Festival and the Zero Prostate Cancer 5k Run/Walk will shut down several roads in the county on Saturday.
That’s in addition to county facility closures for Juneteenth on Sunday and Monday.
Now, here are the most-read Arlington articles of the past week.
