Monday, October 20, 2008

Autumn brings not only spectacular colors to the trees and the sight of pumpkins everywhere, but the annual Fall Gallery Walk in Old Town Manassas as well. Scheduled for Friday, November 7 from 6:00PM until 9:30PM, Historic Manassas Inc. has once again collaborated with the artists of Old Town and various merchants, hosting artist receptions throughout Old Town, serving refreshments and the opportunity to meet the artist in person and discuss their work. You can follow the balloons to find the various stops on the Walk, or pick up a Gallery Walk map at any one of them. You can also download the map from the Walk’s website at www.manassasgallerywalk.com and from Historic Manassas Inc.’s website calendar at www.visitmanassas.org.
