Art on the Avenue is back for its 18th fabulous year!  Art on the Avenue will take place Saturday, October 5, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. along Mount Vernon Avenue between Hume and Bellefonte Avenues in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria.  

The multicultural arts and music festival features over 350 area artists and craftspeople selling their original works, international food, and five stages of live music.  Free children's craft activities and entertainment, artists' demonstrations and a pie baking contest complete the day's program. 

Art on the Avenue celebrates the diversity of the Del Ray community.  The event, voted  by Virginia Living readers as one of the top arts events in Northern Virginia, is entirely volunteer-run, with support from the local business community.  The event is free and open to all; free DASH transportation will be provided from the Braddock Road Metro Station.
