Arlington Palooza 2025

The Department of Parks & Recreation is excited to announce Arlington Palooza is back and bigger than ever! Join us at Lubber Run Community Center for a live music street fair as Arlington celebrates all things recreation and music. De-stress on the lawn as Dupont Brass headlines our many acts on the outdoor main stage. There’s something for everyone when food trucks, artisans, moon bounces, games and community vendors fill the streets. Come inside the community center for animal encounters, child story time, crafts, immersive light show and dance lessons for all ages.

This year, Arlington Palooza takes place on the first day of World Pride 2025 in DC- joining events across the region that honor and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community! Celebrate World Pride with us through pride-themed activities, including:  

  • Pride Story Time: Join us to hear inclusive stories celebrating diversity and love.
  • Pride Crafts: Create your own flags and friendship bracelets to show your support and celebrate World Pride.
  • Interactive Art Project: Contribute to our community art project by adding to our Virginia LOVE sign, symbolizing unity and pride.
