Don't miss the Rosslyn favorite tradition that only comes around once a year! Saturday, Aug. 1, at approximately 9:32 a.m., Nancy Holt’s Dark Star Park (1979-84) will perform a special effect. Shadows cast by the spheres and poles of this landmark outdoor sculpture align with their permanent forms on the ground, marking the moment of Rosslyn’s founding. Cross your fingers for a sunny day!
Light refreshments will be provided by the Rosslyn BID and Good Company Doughnuts.
