Live, from Belmont Country Club, It’s LSMF!

One of the great things about living in Eastern Loudoun is that there is a ton of things to do here in the summer. Movie nights at the Air and Space Museum (this month, it’s “Speed Racer”), fruit, vegetable, flower and berry picking at local farms, and wine tours are just a few of the activities Loudoun residents have to choose from once the weather starts warming up. But I think the most popular events are those held by the Loudoun Summer Music Fest (LSMF) on the lawn of Belmont Country Club. I think we’re all extra grateful for the LSMF this year, because its biggest sponsor (AOL, I am looking at you) pulled out at the very last minute and the organization had to scramble to get the funds together. Infinitive and OpenBand definitely deserve a shout-out for stepping up to the plate and helping the show go on. Thank you!

You may have already missed Creedence Clearwater Revisited and Smashmouth, but it’s not too late to enjoy performances by Foreigner (tomorrow, June 1st), Blues Traveler (Sunday, June 15th), Pat Benatar (Sunday, June 22nd) and REO Speedwagon (Saturday, June 28th), just to name a few. (You can see the entire schedule here.) Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate. Best of all, profits from the concerts and concessions are given to Loudoun charities through the Loudoun Foundation, so you can have fun and contribute to the community all at the same time. I can’t think of a better way to spend an evening.
