FALLS CHURCH, VA—Music will fill the streets of Falls Church as the 26th annual Tinner Hill Music Festival returns on Saturday, June 8 from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. at Cherry Hill Park, 312 Park Avenue.

Originally a blues festival, the event was re-branded and will happen on one day rather than a full weekend like years prior. The festival celebrates the history of African-American music with performances and other entertainment. It is held by the Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation, which works to preserve civil rights history in Falls Church and Northern Virginia.

Below is the performance schedule.
