DMV, get ready for a homecoming! As Amazon celebrates two decades in Virginia, Community Day returns to Met Park on Saturday, September 26, bringing the Northern Virginia community together for its third annual celebration of family, neighbors, local businesses and community partners.
Community Day is part of Amazon’s commitment to being a good neighbor and community partner in the region, giving the company an opportunity to say thank you to the Northern Virginia community.
There’s plenty to see, do and get into throughout the day. Get hands-on with STEM activities at the Think Big Experience, where you can make slime and bubble potions, build skyscrapers and launch straw rockets. Then, swing by Amazon Alley to discover local independent sellers and entrepreneurs from around the DMV, or shop at the EatLoco Farmers Market for produce, hot food and handcrafted goods.
Ready to play? Jump into Foamboree, a bubble-filled foam pit, and cool off at the onsite misting tent. Then head to the Lucky 8 Custom Trucker Hat Bar to create a custom hat with game day–inspired patches and Amazon Community Day designs.
The homecoming fun continues with a live DJ, local marching bands and cheer teams, plus remarks and an appearance from the Science Guys of Baltimore. Families can head to the children’s area for face painting, glitter tattoos, bubbles and a LEGO® wall, while the community library offers complimentary books and a bookmark decorating station.
And yes, your pups are invited, too! Four-legged friends will be treated to a complimentary dog treat bar, stick library, pet caricatures and a dog bandana customization area. Throughout the park, homecoming photo moments and themed decor will give everyone plenty of photo ops!
Amazon Community Day takes place Saturday, September 26, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Metropolitan Park, 510 14th St. S, Arlington, VA 22202.
