Where to Go Out in Loudoun This Weekend

If you’re looking for a solid plan without overthinking it:

• One Loudoun (Ashburn) → Restaurant Week
  Running through the weekend, this is one of the easiest ways to try multiple restaurants in one place. No driving all over — just park and explore.
• Tuscarora Mill or Shoe’s Cup & Cork (Leesburg)
  Planning brunch? These are two of the most consistent go-to spots in downtown Leesburg. Expect a wait during peak hours — but worth it.

Things to Do in Loudoun (Events & Activities)

If you want something more than just food and drinks:

• Mac & Cheese Fest @ Lost Rhino Brewing Company (Friday, 12PM–6PM)
  Food trucks serving mac & cheese everything, local vendors, and even a petting zoo. This is one of those events you plan your day around.
• Kids Trout Fishing Derby (Sugarland Run, Saturday morning)
  A classic Loudoun event that families come back to every year. Simple, outdoors, and easy to enjoy.
• Campfire Cooking at Claude Moore Park (Sterling, Sunday)
  A hands-on outdoor experience where you actually learn something — and it’s different from your typical weekend plan.
• Leesburg Parks & Recreation Events (Throughout the Weekend)
  Smaller community events, but great if you’re looking for something low-key and local.

Things to Do with Kids in Loudoun

If you’re trying to get out of the house with kids:

• Just Between Friends Sale (Dulles Sportsplex, Sterling — All Weekend)
  A large consignment event with kids’ clothes, toys, and gear. Busy, but popular for a reason.
• Libraries & Community Centers (Ashburn + Leesburg)
  Crafts, story times, and indoor activities happening throughout the weekend — especially useful if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
• Petting Zoo @ Lost Rhino (during Mac & Cheese Fest)
  Goats, animals, and an easy add-on if you’re already heading there.

Wineries, Breweries & Easy Weekend Plans

If you don’t want a structured event:

Loudoun’s wineries and breweries are back in full swing this time of year, many with live music and outdoor seating.

A few easy picks:

• Bluemont Vineyard (Bluemont) → Known for views and a more relaxed, acoustic vibe
• Stone Tower Winery (Leesburg) → Larger crowds, more energy, good for groups
• Bear Chase Brewing (Bluemont) → One of the easiest spots to spend an afternoon without planning much

Worth Checking If You’re Nearby

If you’re already out and about:

• One Loudoun events beyond Restaurant Week
  Expect live music, pop-ups, and activity throughout the area
• Downtown Leesburg
  Warmer weather brings more foot traffic, open patios, and small pop-up activity
• Local Facebook groups + The Burn
  Still the best place to catch last-minute or lesser-known events happening around Loudoun

A Simple Plan (If You Don’t Want to Think About It)

Start in Leesburg → grab brunch → walk around downtown → head to a winery after

Done.
