Description
Join us for our annual Frolics and Diversions weekend at Great Falls Tavern! This year we will be celebrating the Olympics and the history of sports and leisure along C&O Canal. Participate in 19th-century games, play a round of mule shoes, try your hand at jousting, and test your skills at the visitor-favorite slow bike race.
The Northern Virginia Dulcimer Group will be performing on Saturday between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. Sunday is also a Fee-Free Day and entrance fees to the park will be waived!
The program will run 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, August 3rd and Sunday, August 4th.
