Hey Neighbor… First Friday energy meets Greek culture. The Spring Fredericksburg Greek Festival brings Mediterranean flavors to the region, the Great Rappahannock Whitewater Canoe Race launches downtown, and FXBG celebrates with car shows, garage sales, a bourbon pairing, and a dazzling Black & Gold Gala.
There's karaoke at the arcade, poker tournaments, cosplay markets, poetry nights, live music at six different venues, pizza cigars, and a midsummer cosplay celebration on Sunday.
