Saturday is not quiet: Art in the Burg, the PRCS Food Truck Festival, Frozen, dinner theater at Casanel, and an ABBA tribute at Tally Ho all stack up. Sunday is the Mother's Day decision: farm breakfast, brunch boards, a 5K, flowers, or a mountain brunch.

A downtown Friday, a split Saturday, and a clean Sunday run.
This weekend gives you a real choice instead of one obvious anchor: Leesburg First Friday to ease in, a family-heavy Saturday split between Sterling and Leesburg, a more focused wine-country tasting at 8 Chains, and Run the Greenway if you want Sunday to start with movement.

A packed Saturday, with a few useful ways out.
This weekend tilts hard toward Saturday: Earth Day at Franklin Park, Purcellville's Music and Arts Festival, LoCo Wine Fest, and a Tally Ho country night all stack up. Friday is there if you want loud nostalgia, and Sunday has a clean theater-or-5K lane if you do not want another festival crowd.
