Waynewoodstock 2026 | Live Music, Food Trucks & Community Festival

Waynewood's annual backyard music festival — live bands on two stages, food trucks, craft beer, and a full day of community fun.

Join us Saturday, May 16, 2026, from noon to 9:30 PM at Waynewood Recreation Park (1027 Dalebrook Dr, Alexandria, VA 22308) in the heart of the Fort Hunt / Mount Vernon community for an unforgettable day of music, food, and community celebration.

Get ready for an unforgettable day filled with live local music, delicious eats, and refreshing drinks.

Waynewoodstock is a rain-or-shine event with plenty of tent space in case of inclement weather. We'll be there no matter what — and so should you!

Waynewoodstock is a volunteer-run community event supporting Waynewood Recreation Association (WRA) programming. Every ticket helps fund the neighborhood pool, park improvements, and community events. Last year's festival drew hundreds of neighbors and sold out Lounge Zones in advance — we're growing this tradition every year.

Tickets are non-refundable but are fully transferable. Give them to a friend or neighbor if your plans change.

Don't wait — Lounge Zones sold out in 2025! Secure your tickets now and save before day-of pricing kicks in.
