Another addition to the festival is the expansion to Cornwall Street. Added to the festival layout in 2012, picturesque West Cornwall Street’s beautiful gardens, historic church and mature landscaping 
combine to make it the new “star street” of the festival. Home to 25 additional vendors as well as the popular children’s entertainment area, Cornwall is sure to be a happening street.
As always, a huge variety of food, music, children’s entertainment and crafts will be on hand for this two-day event. Hourly entertainment on the Children’s Stage will keep youngsters enthralled while moving and grooving. Both days will be filled with interactive, live entertainment just for our youngsters. The fun continues with crafts, face painting, and other activities. The new location of the children’s area on Cornwall Street is sure to be one of the most popular spots of the festival.
Enjoy the sounds of local and regional bands on our Main Stage, located at the Loudoun County Courthouse. From relaxing reggae tunes to the classic rock favorites, the Main Stage is the perfect place to take in the awesome atmosphere of this festival of flowers and fun!
