Wear Orange on Friday, June 3rd!
The first Friday in June is recognized as National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Also known as Wear Orange Day, it was first organized by students to memorialize the 2013 death of their friend and gun violence victim, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton. After her death, they asked us to stand up, speak out, and Wear Orange to raise awareness.
 Wednesday Mornings • 10 a.m. • Frying Pan Farm Park Visitor Center
Saturday mornings • 10 a.m. • Mason District Park, Burke Lake Park, EC Lawrence Park Amphitheater & Wakefield Park (behind the Rec Center)
Arts in the Parks is a FREE family fun alternative to Saturday & Wednesday morning cartoons & video games. It serves to entertain children, teach them the importance of protecting our natural resources, introduce them to live entertainment in an informal kid friendly atmosphere, and forge a connection between kids and parks.
For most children, Arts in the Parks is their first exposure to live entertainment, and for practically all of the young watchers, it's their first chance to join professionals on stage. So they remember and forever associate the delightful experiences with parks. For Fairfax County's younger set, ARTS IN THE PARKS has become THE THING TO DO!
Arts in the Parks is held at Burke Lake, Mason District, E.C. Lawrence, Frying Pan Farm Parks, and Wakefield Park Saturday and Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m.
