As we establish the 39th annual Herndon Festival in its new location, we pause to send enormous thanks to Northwest Federal Credit Union for partnering as our title sponsor and host of the Herndon Festival.

In the new location, this time-honored event will continue to be held over four days. The Festival will be filled with carnival games & rides, music, and vendors for all ages to enjoy.

Entertainment Highlights If you think that moving to our new location has cut down on entertainment possibilities let us assure you - it has not! The opportunities to dance the day away, get your jam on and find new artists to add to your playlist still abound and are still free. This year we have two large stages that will feature bands from open to close.

In addition, we’ll feature a smaller more intimate performing arts plaza by the Business Expo on Saturday and Sunday. It will present some unique performances, such as a song building workshop, solo singer/ songwriters, a man and his monkey, and some sleight of hand.

It wouldn’t be festival fun without colorful and fanciful one-of-a-kind interactions with our strolling talent. You are sure to bump into old friends, such as Unicycle Lady and Ziggy the Insect and new creative wonders as you and they roam our new festival site.

Our Performing Arts Supervisor, along with the Herndon Festival planning committee, collaborated to bring the best in local, regional and national talent to the festival. Our Performing Arts Supervisor’s not to be missed list includes: EVE Strings Electrique Great Wide Open Vacation Manor Broke Royals Act of Congress and, of course, Vertical Horizon!

Entertainment Highlights Usually, we save the headliners for the last act of the night. This year we threw in some groups that could easily headline into our days as well.

For example…

SVET, the Electro Hip-Hop violinist, as seen on America’s Got Talent! This lively modern virtuoso is opening Saturday on the Parkway stage. A stage and day that we devoted to all instruments stringed!

Clearly a headline act, EVE Strings Electrique, showcases the Viper Electric 6 string violin, the Yamaha Electric cello and the John Jordan Electric 7 string violin. These ladies show us what new school is all about!

Great Wide Open – The Ultimate Tom Petty Experience is on the Herndon Family Medicine Stage Saturday at 7:00pm on a day and stage that we dedicated to music you know and love. We decided to party all day and night in that corner of our new site!

Mister G – we consider all Grammy winners headline material and are featuring this bilingual musician Sunday at 10:00am. Calling all kids to the Parkway stage! Plus, there will be a musical workshop at 11:30am with Mister G. Children will have the chance to decorate and play their own spinning drum. This is sure to be an interactive experience for all!

Entertainment Headliners Thursday transit Vocal Band

7:30-9:30pm Parkway Stage Using nothing more than the human voice, transit brings to the stage the thumping, rhythm of a drum set, the rumbling vibrations of an electric bass, funky guitar riffs, soulful horns and many other instruments. With an impressive mix of soul, pop, funk and rock from every decade since the 1950s, transit is a must-see show that will leave you wondering how is it possible without any instruments. We are thrilled to offer A Cappella music as a headliner this year and we are sure it’s going to thrill you too!

China Grove

7:30-9:30pm Herndon Family Medicine Stage Some of Chicago’s finest musicians have banded together to form China Grove, performing hit after hit from one of America’s most popular bands, The Doobie Brothers. It won’t be long before you’re singing along with songs you’ve known for years. We thought Thursday night at festival was “Just in Time” to “Turn it Loose” get that “Sweet Feelin” and “Listen to the Music”!

Entertainment Headliners Friday Act of Congress

7:30-9:30pm Parkway Stage This singer/songwriter group from Birmingham, Alabama plays only acoustic instruments giving them a unique sound that resonates with audiences both here and around the world. Act of Congress has completed five tours as Cultural Ambassadors in the American Music Abroad Program that is produced by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

They have also opened for Toby Keith, John Mayer and Edwin McCain. They have an organic sound that combines hook-laden melodies and compelling songwriting. Dave Higgs of NPR – “One of the freshest sounding, exuberant bands in all of the known acoustic universe.” Here at the Herndon Festival we are thrilled they are in our universe Friday night on the Parkway Stage.

Ocho de Bastos

8-10:00pm Herndon Family Medicine Stage Ocho de Bastos came to life in 2009 when a group of young enthusiastic and passionate musicians formed a Latin Pop Rock Band. Ocho de Bastos has since become one of the most popular and sought-after bands in the DC metro area. A unique guitar sound, blended with powerful drums, Latin percussion, and catchy brass riffs, complement Ocho de Bastos’ extraordinary style. With a repertoire that includes popular songs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, their goal is to bring people together with music and to create memorable experiences. National Public Radio’s, Felix Contreras, has described Ocho de Bastos, as “A DARN GOOD BAND.” We welcome back to the stage Ocho de Bastos – A Herndon Festival favorite!

Entertainment Headliners Saturday Farewell Angelina

8:00-9:30pm Parkway Stage Farewell Angelina is an all-female country group comprised of four powerhouse vocalists, who are also dynamic songwriters and accomplished multiinstrumentalists. Their stellar blend of heart-stopping harmonies over blazing double violins and guitars has earned soaring praise across the board. They’ve been named among Rolling Stone’s “New Artists You Need To Know,” and Roughstock’s “Ones to Watch” with a tour schedule to prove it. The girls have opened shows for the likes of Kenny Chesney, Old Dominion, Frankie Ballard, Jake Owen, Billy Currington, Maroon 5, and Trace Adkins, to name a few. They are currently headlining their own “Women & Wine Tour” to packed crowds across the US. The girls played over 75 shows in 2018 and were scheduled to play Herndon Festival 2018 but were rained out. We couldn’t miss the opportunity to have them back.

Three Sheets to the Wind

8:30-10:00pm Herndon Family Medicine Stage Named both as “Best Band” by Richmond Magazine, and “Best Cover Band” by STYLE Weekly for five years running. Three Sheets to the Wind is America’s #1 Tribute to Yacht Rock. Unfortunately, last year Three Sheets to the Wind sailed away on all the rain so we invited them back and are hoping they drop anchor this year!

Entertainment Headliners Sunday Vertical Horizon

4:45-6:00pm Herndon Family Medicine Stage Vertical Horizon is an American alternative rock band formed at Georgetown University in D.C. in 1990. Their high energy shows are filled with an assortment of their well-known and latest hits.

The band plays off each other with an almost feverish dynamic energy, drawing the fans into a riveting musical experience at every show. Their Everything You Want Album, sold over two million copies and the title song captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts.

In February 2018 Vertical Horizon released their latest album, The Lost Mile. We are beyond thrilled to have them at the Herndon Festival.

This is one performance not to be missed!

The Herndon Festival Moving Forward As the Herndon Festival settles into its new location, we celebrate another year of this long running tradition. The Northwest Federal Credit Union has been there to help us place the beloved components of the Festival on their campus. Next year, we look forward to celebrating the 40th Herndon Festival with you, your family, and friends. Where else can you enjoy entertainment, a carnival, kids’ activities, 10K/5K race, vendors galore, free admission, and a free shuttlebus? Stay in touch and follow all the 2020 details at herndonFestival.net. Your thoughts and ideas are welcome at parksandrec@herndon-va.gov.

Why did the Herndon Festival Move?

The Herndon Festival moved to make room as the Town of Herndon works with Comstock Partners to redevelop 4.675 acres of land in historic downtown.

The redevelopment will provide a mix of retail, office and residential development, to include four-story mixed-use/ residential structures; three-story mixed-use/commercial structures; a jointlyfunded public/private parking structure; an arts center and more.
