The 11th annual Springfield Community BridgeWalk is scheduled for Tuesday, August 28. 

This family-friendly event is open to the entire community – businesses, residents and even your four-legged friends. Come on out and join the crowd at 7:00 p.m. at the corner of Amherst Avenue and Bland Street in Springfield.

At 7:30 p.m., as the lights along Amherst Avenue begin to shine, officers from the Franconia District Police Station will close the road for a community stroll across Veterans Bridge to American Legion Post 176.

At the post, there will be a brief ceremony honoring those who serve in the military, followed by music from the Kings Park Concert Band, prizes and complimentary refreshments.

The BridgeWalk is an annual, end-of-summer celebration, helping our community turn its attention to a new school year about to start and fall weather soon to arrive. 

For more information, contact the staff of Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay at 703-971-6262.
