*** Please note: Candy in the Treasure Hunt may contain nuts! We do our best to avoid this, but we cannot guarantee it because even nut-free candy may have been made on machines that previously processed candy that did contain nuts. The pirate will have nut-free choices for children with nut allergies.

Ticket Sales

Tickets will be sold from 11 am at the ticket tent shown on the map. The cost will be $10 per child, which will include access to all games, rides and performances as well as the Treasure Hunt.

No Rain Date

Due to the size of this ever-popular event, and to scheduling requirements for the carnival rides, we are unable to provide a rain date for the Spring Festival. Please call 703-759-9546 after 9:00 on May 4 to verify the status of the event if you are concerned about cancellation due to inclement weather.

Lost Parents

Please go to the First Aid Tent which will be located directly behind the Ticket Tent on the road that parallels the field.

Volunteers Needed

We can always use more volunteers to help with a range of jobs, including staffing a carnival ride or a Treasure Hunt entrance, helping with set up and clean up the day of the Festival, and other activities. If you are interested in helping with this fun, family-friendly day, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Heidi Hommel at 703-625-6335 or via email at heidihommel@mris.com  This is a terrific opportunity for Scout troops looking for community service opportunities!
