Loudoun Loop is the 5 best things to do in Loudoun this weekend, sent every Thursday morning.
A late-weekend guide for what is still worth doing. This one is late, so the guide is focused on what you can still use. Saturday has the fair's last day, three different evening music or polo choices, and good outdoor weather. Sunday is quieter and better for sunflowers, a market run, Dirt Farm, or an indoor metal show at Tally Ho.
Last checked Saturday, July 25, 2026. The NWS point forecast for Leesburg showed a partly sunny Saturday near 82 and a Sunday near 86 with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible after 2:00 PM. Check outdoor event status before leaving.
Best bets
Loudoun County Fair final day
Saturday, July 25 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Loudoun County Fairgrounds, Leesburg.
The fair is the biggest local thing still on the board. Go for animals, carnival rides, fair food, the petting zoo, bluegrass in the Music Tent, Grapes and Grain, and the 8:00 PM demolition derby if you want the loud Saturday-night finish.
Tarara Summer Concert Series: Jimmy Kenny and the Pirate Beach Band
Saturday, July 25. Gates at 5:00 PM, show from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Shadow Lake at Tarara, Leesburg.
This is the easiest outdoor music pick if you want familiar summer songs and a picnic-concert feel. The band covers Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, and Zac Brown Band.
Polo in the Park at Morven Park
Saturday, July 25 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Morven Park International Equestrian Center, Leesburg.
Polo is the more relaxed Saturday-night alternative to the fair. You still get a crowd, food vendors, and something that feels distinctly Loudoun.
Leesburg Summer JAMS: Mostly Fab
Saturday, July 25 at 7:00 PM. Town Green, Leesburg.
Mostly Fab brings Beatles favorites to the free Town Green series. The town cancels Summer JAMS in bad weather.
Summer of Sunflowers at Great Country Farms
Saturday or Sunday, July 25-26 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Great Country Farms, Bluemont.
Great Country Farms says the sunflower fields are still in peak viewing and cutting through July 26. This is the best Sunday morning move.
