Labor Day Weekend, 2025

CORRECTION: On Sunday, the 31st, Hijynx is playing 6:30pm-10 at the Perch at Starr Hill in Tysons (see photo of the venue below), and not 9:30pm-1:30 like previously posted (that timing was from their last show at The Renegade). Come enjoy the beautiful evening and this amazing band.

ADDITION:

FALLS CHURCH (for Monday, 9/1)

• Island Time Bar and Grill: Soulfire (4-7pm; high-energy danceable covers that bring jazz and rockabilly flair).

Check out Soulfire before they play Westover Day again on October 4th. And you have to also check out Island Time bar and grill. This video clip will give you a sense of how awesome this hidden gem is (the header photo above is of the venue)
