2 Days To Go!...

..anticipation is in the air!.. Saturday 6/9 is our big opening day, and it's gonna be a blast! We're slated for great weather and we have two awesome bands playing in the afternoon (see band list to the right) and an AMAzing lineup of vendors! check out the vendor's sites to the right so you can start envisioning that new artwork in your apt. or cool clothes in your summer wardrobe!

Make a day of it- the first 100 visitors to visit the Ballston Va-Square Partnership booth will get a goody bag full of treats and coupons to nearby shops and restaurants. Have you always been wanting to try Willow Restaurant? there's a coupon in our bag for 1/2 price burgers! and they have a fabulous outdoor terrace right across the street from the market. There are coupons for lots of other nearby places, so if you live in the neighborhood you can use them up over the course of a couple weeks..and then use the discount at 'Curves' to work it off! ;)

The market runs from 10am-4pm on Saturday and the free concert starts between 12-1 and runs 2 hours.

If you're coming from DC, take the orange line to Ballston and cross N. Stuart Street. You can also take the 38B which starts at Farragut Sq. and travels through Georgetown and over the Key Bridge, ending at Ballston Metro.

See you Saturday!! -kristina
