Hello readers! For those of you that are new, each week I try to provide a list of what's coming up in Prince William County that's kid friendly or family friendly so you know where to go! Here's my list of highlights for this week, but remember that you can always find a full calendar right here on the website! Also, be sure to check out our event map and contests while you're here!
