Manassas politicians agreed to get ‘chalked,’ raise funds for the arts

MANASSAS — Of my favorite Manassas events is right around the corner – the Fall Jubilee in Downtown Manassas is a favorite of locals and out of town visitors, and this year proves to be no exception.

The amazing Daredevil Dogs return this year to wow the crowd with their, “discs and tricks for four 25-minute performances. There will be bleachers set up on the lawn and there’s a meet and greet afterward so you can meet and pet them,” said Historic Manassas Inc. Event Coordinator Rebekah Raze.

The biggest buzz around the Fall Jubilee is the Carnival of Chalk fundraiser at the Center for the Arts. Not only can attendees buy chalk to decorate the parking lot, but they can also purchase chalk bombs to throw at local candidates and politicians who have volunteered for this great cause.

  • Vice Mayor Sheryl Bass and Councilwoman Pamela Short Sebesky from 1-2 p.m.
  • Councilman Marc Aveni and Councilman Ian Lovejoy from 2-3 p.m.
  • Councilman Ken Elston and Candidate Michelle Davis-Younger from 3-4 p.m.
  • Candidate Theresa Coates Ellis from 4-5 p.m.

The Fall Jubilee will have a variety of delicious food from its 15 food vendors and local restaurants.

The Community Stage at the intersection of Main and Center St. will feature local dance and martial arts groups throughout the day.

The Fall Jubilee is Saturday, October 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to the public.
