Capital One Center’s signature festival returns Friday, May 3rd & Saturday, May 4th featuring putt putt, live music, craft beer from Starr Hill Biergarten, fitness classes, Made in Fairfax’s pop-up shop presented by Celebrate Fairfax, and so much more. Throwback theme: The Perch will be decked out with retro games and guests are encouraged to wear 80’s and 90’s attire for retro fun! Back by popular demand, the Perch Putt Open will kick-off the weekend festivities on Friday, May 3rd.

Perchfest is open to the public and free to attend, with a recommended donation to Miriam’s Kitchen. Guests are encouraged to register in advance and make a donation. Expect the same energy and vibe as previous Perchfest weekends with 15,000 attendees over the weekend.
