What a night in Great Falls! 
This past Saturday, the Great Falls Village Field was transformed into an outdoor concert venue for our Celebrate Great Falls 250 Festival! With a big stage, live music, and a wonderful community turnout, it was a night to remember!
Two of our favorite local bands, Radio Vinyl and Hello Cleveland, kept the crowd entertained with fantastic live music! Guests enjoyed Chick-fil-A and Kaizo food trucks, along with concert-ready food and drinks to-go from our local restaurants.
A couple of special highlights came from our talented local students, including Parker's reading of the Declaration of Independence and Sophia's beautiful performance of “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” 
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make this event possible! 
Thank you to our wonderful community for coming out and celebrating with us! Thank you to our generous sponsors  and Fairfax250! Thank you to Radio Vinyl and Hello Cleveland for sharing their talents with us. And many thanks to the team who made this special evening come together - Event Chair Eamon McCrann, Victoria Valen, Mike Kearney, Kat Rutkowski, Robert Moore and the team at Blackbox Events.
It was a night filled with good times, great tunes, and even better company!
We love bringing our Great Falls community together and can't wait to celebrate with you again soon!

We loved catching up with our Mingle at the Mill food contest winners and presenting their well-deserved awards!

Best Bite: The Old Brogue Irish Pub
Most Creative: Mookie's BBQ

Our first-ever Taste of Great Falls was such a wonderful addition to Mingle at the Mill, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible local restaurants that came together to share their delicious creations with us.

We’re still hearing rave reviews from guests and participating restaurants alike, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

We love celebrating the local businesses that make our area so special.

We can’t wait to bring Taste of Great Falls back next year!

✨ Oh, What a Night! ✨
Mingle at the Mill was another SOLD-OUT success, thanks to our incredible Great Falls community! An unforgettable evening of food, drinks, music, history, and friends—all in support of our beloved historic Colvin Run Mill.
Guests enjoyed delicious bites from local restaurants at our first-ever Taste of Great Falls, gathered around the firepit, and sipped our signature Mill Mulled C***r, made with fresh c***r pressed at the Mill that very day! Our vintage truck wh***ey barrel bar was quite the hit. 🍂🥃
From blacksmithing and historic demonstrations to candlelit tours and watching the Mill in action, history truly came alive. Live acoustic jazz under the stars and our 25-foot candlelit harvest table made for a magical fall evening.
🏆 And the Taste of Great Falls winners are…
• Best Bite: Old Brogue
• Most Creative: Mookie’s
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Colvin Run Mill, Friends of the Mill, our generous sponsors and donors, vendors, volunteers, and every guest who made this night possible. Special thanks to co-chairs Beth Rafferty and Deana Fernandez and auction lead Melissa Laskin.
It takes a village, and ours is something special. ❤️
