Free wine tastings, Roamstock, Taste of Del Ray, and more
Things to do in Del Ray, VA this weekend: May 31-June 2, 2024.
Happy Friday, Del Ray!
We’re entering June this weekend—the month with the longest days of the year (at least in the Northern Hemisphere). With the summer solstice on June 20th, it’s the day we’ll enjoy the most hours of sunlight!
I have been loving waking up to sunrise and taking post-dinner walks in the daylight.
June also marks Pride Month. I’ll keep you posted about all the Pride events in Del Ray as they’re unveiled.
Here are some wonderful ways to spend your upcoming days:
🍷 Free wine tastings
🎵 Roamstock
🏡 Open houses galore
🥘 Taste of Del Ray
More!
Thank you so much for being here, and have a lovely weekend.
