Relax with Family & Friends
Friday on the Commons is a wonderful place to relax on Friday evening with family and friends. You can stop by for locally grown produce, fruits or baked goods. Be sure to visit our artisan vendors for some local arts & crafts. Our music is world class, and each Friday on the Commons event is super fun and entertaining.
Make an evening of it! Bring your lawn chairs and have dinner on the Commons. Whether it's from one of our BBQ vendors, rotating food trucks or bringing something delicious from one of Poolesville’s many fine restaurants.
