Main Stage

Location: Sager Avenue

11AM: PART-TIME COWBOYS

PTC primarily plays solid Country Music, with a modern edge! But this all-star cast of talented singers and musicians has also been known to mix in a little Rock and Roll, Polka, and Rhythm and Blues! PTC has been billed as "One of the best bands this side of Nashville", and will add an exciting, dynamic atmosphere to your next event; all the while, keeping it fun, professional, and family-friendly!

3PM: THE REFLEX

Step inside the DeLorean and let The Reflex’s full-on retro concert experience take you on an excellent time travel adventure to the best decade of our lives, the 1980's! The Reflex will rewind the clock and take you “back in time” by recreating the sounds, looks, and intensity of the best songs the 80's has to offer. They keep the party going by mirroring such artists as Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Billy Idol, Bryan Adams, Journey, Heart, and many, many, more! 

So, dust off your Jordache jeans, tighten up that fanny pack, throw on your members-only jacket, slip into some Vans, and prepare yourself for the sounds of The Reflex: The DMV’s Ultimate 80s Tribute Band.

Ratcliffe-Allison-Pozer House
10386 Main Street, Fairfax, VA 22030
11am – 3pm
Open for guided tours

This charming brick house is the City's oldest residence within what was the original 6-block Town of Providence. The daily activities of some of its twelve owners and occupants are interpreted for visitors, illustrating commercial and domestic change along Main Street during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Lot Number 10 in Providence was owned by Richard Ratcliffe, the city's founder.  In 1807, cobbler Henry Logan purchased the lot and built a small brick house.  It was expanded in 1824 by the Allison family.

The last two owners were Kate Waller Barrett, a prominent social reformer, and her daughter, Kitty Pozer. Following her mother's death, Kitty purchased the house with her husband, Charles Pozer, and joined a new 1927 prefabricated house to the earlier brick structure. A respected gardener, Mrs. Pozer deeded the house to the city in 1973. Following her death in 1981, the City purchased her extensive property that extended to North Street.
