The Clifton Day Festival returns on October 11, 2026 — a hometown tradition since 1967!

This annual celebration of Clifton features a marketplace with artisans and vendors lining the town’s streets, offering everything from baked goods and gourmet cheeses to pottery, jewelry, and handmade toys. Live music, children’s activities, a beer & wine garden, and other delicious food and beverage options add to the fun.

Clifton Day is the only day of the year when the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) train stops in the town, providing round-trip train service to Clifton from stops between Manassas and Rolling Road.

Admission is free; parking is available for a fee in designated festival lots only, as roads through town close for the day. Please leave pets at home!
