This weekend is the biannual Occoquan Event that has been a part of Eastern Prince William County for 25 years.  The Occoquan Arts & Craft Show closes the streets of this historic town so that hundreds of white tents can overrun the streets.  Inside these shelters are some of the region’s best artisans.  Glass, jewelry, pottery, art as well as fabric crafts can be purchased Saturday from 10-6 and Sunday from 10-5. 

Visit the website to find the most convenient parking at one of four commuter lots.  Take a shuttle for $4 and enter worry free.  I will be there all weekend in front of Mom’s Apple Pie, where the shuttle buses arrive.  No, I haven’t entered the craft market.  And no, I am not selling wallpaper or some such thing.  I am chaperoning high school students…Oh dear!
