Crowds converge on Annandale for annual Fall Festival and Parade
Annandale was a hub of activity yesterday, with the annual parade
in the morning and the Fall Festival all day. The
festival brought crowds of people to the Little River Plaza shopping center
parking lot for children’s games, craft vendors, food, live music, a NASCAR
demonstration, antique cars, fire department vehicles, children’s
entertainment, and displays from merchants and nonprofits. Both events are organized by the Annandale Chamber of Commerce.
