Entertainment in the Park
Come check out all the children's entertainment in the park! Past Clifton Day Festivals have included various activities from JumpWorks, the Unicycle Lady (a past "America's Got Talent" auditonee who retired her 12-year-old dog from performing last year), Kerri the Face Painter and numerous games put on by the local Girl Scouts. Lots of fun activities will be offered again this year. Stay tuned for details.
Pony Rides at the Barn
The Cloverleaf Equine Center (formerly known as the Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program) will once again have the pony rides. Proceeds go to support the riding lessons and horses for Cloverleaf. Children who are age 4 or older and weigh no more than 100 pounds are welcome to ride. Completely safe, completely fun, and pony-petting is free!
