'Family Fun Saturday' Debuts in Leesburg Sept. 17

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – "Family Fun Saturday," a new family event, will take place in the historic downtown every third Saturday of the month, according to the Leesburg Downtown Business Association (LDBA) .

Beginning September 17, live entertainment will be available at participating businesses and near Mervin Jackson Park. Specifically focused towards families, activities will include live music, demonstrations, crafts, face painting, free treats--and more.

“A large part of LDBA's purpose is to create and encourage a more vibrant downtown. We have accomplished that goal for adults with Leesburg’s FirstFriday,” said LDBA President Gwen Pangle. “Family Fun Saturday will center on our children and their families so that they are encouraged to enjoy downtown and develop a sense of 'place' with their hometown."

“Any event that brings people downtown is good for Leesburg,” added Leesburg’s Mayor Dave Butler. “Everybody loves our historic downtown and I’m excited to see the LDBA put on this Family Fun Saturday, which is sure to attract a lot of families. I can’t wait to see the first one.”
