SUMMARY:Feel the Heritage Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Arlington Historical Society is participating in the county’s Feel the Heritage Festival. This is a vibrant gathering for all ages to celebrate history\, culture\, and community together! The festival welcomes hundreds each year to learn about the Arlington’s historically African-American neighborhoods while enjoying live entertainment\, delicious food and dozens of vendors. This festival brings together live performances of music and dance\, local vendors\, food\, interactive family-friendly activities\, engaging cultural experience designed for the whole family\, and plenty of opportunities to connect and reflect on the stories that unite us. This year’s festival will celebrate the 2026 national Black History Month theme\, ‘”A Century of Black History Commemoration.”   \n Visit our table focused on Memorializing the Enslaved of Arlington\, a joint project with the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington. The project brings our county’s African American history to light. Research into local records has revealed the fortitude and resilience of the local enslaved community and honors the lives and contributions of Arlington’s once enslaved people by placing memorial plaques throughout the county at sites of enslavement. \nVisit our table to learn more about who the enslaved were and where they lived and toiled in Arlington County. \n \n
