The Special Events Office is looking for talented individuals or groups to perform at outdoor concerts and special events offered throughout the year. Events include the City of Alexandria Annual Birthday Celebration, Jazz Festival, Summer Evening Concerts, Summer Lunch Concerts, and Winter Concerts. Scheduling begins in January each year. The Alexandria Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities offers citizens a personal opportunity to participate in the ongoing endeavor to beautify the City of Alexandria while remembering an important occasion or life-cycle event. Donations are used to plant trees or gardens, place park benches, and to install play equipment throughout the City.
Donors can designate a specific use for the donation and a preferred location.
Any dollar amount is appropriate, and the donation is tax deductible. Citizens interested in celebrating the Arts in Alexandria are needed. The mission of the Alexandria Commission for the Arts is to lead and advocate for cultural development within the City and surrounding region.
