We’ve decided to retire our events calendar on ALXcam.com—but not because anything is missing in Alexandria. Quite the opposite!
It is clear that Alexandria already has a rich landscape of local sources that do a fantastic job of covering events—from official announcements to neighborhood festivals and everything in between. Rather than maintain a calendar that simply echoes what’s already out there, we’re choosing to focus on our monthly write-ups and feature stories that highlight what’s interesting, beautiful, or unique about life here.
If you’re looking for up-to-date event info, here are some of the best local sources we’ve found:
