BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Not only will we have the scenic excursion train ride at this year's festival, but we'll also have plenty of other forms of fun and entertainment. The award winning Historic Manassas Farmer's Market will also be taking place right down the street while the shops, restaurants, and businesses of Historic Downtown Manassas await you one street over.
