Summer is in full swing here at Prince William County Parks and Recreation and we've got tons of programs, events and activities for you to join in on the fun. This month you can catch an outdoor concert, shop at our yard sale, attend a Rec on Wheels event, and so much more. We hope to see you out and about in our parks this month!
Fridays at 5
Join us on Friday, July 11 starting at 5 pm, to enjoy the sounds of the Special Occasions Band. They bring 3 decades of musical influences to the stage each and every time they perform, by drawing from a wide variety of musical styles such as R&B, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Country, Latin, Pop, Gospel and Go-Go.
DJ Moe Vibez will also be spinning some tunes to get you up on your feet dancing! Food and drink will be available for purchase. Event is free and held at Sean T. Connaughton Plaza. Check out all the details here.
