Let's enjoy a walk in Old Town and check out the Old Town Festival of Speed & Style!

❶ What we'll do:

  • Starting from the Capital Bikeshare Station on Diagonal Road, we'll walk through Old Town Alexandria, ending up at the 500 block of King Street to check out the cars! After admiring the cars, attendees can make their way individually back to the meetup point or their next destination.
  • The walk is 4.5 miles and should take about 2 hours. The surface is paved throughout, with inclines here and there and steps in places. This is an easy walk.

❷ How to get there:

  • Metro: King Street Station is on the Blue and Yellow Lines.
  • Driving: From I-395, take VA-7 / King Street east about 2.8 miles. Take the first right after passing under the railroad (Daingerfield Street), and an immediate right onto Diagonal Road. From US-1 / Richmond Highway, follow King Street west 0.5 miles, take a sharp left onto Daingerfield, and the first right onto Diagonal Road. There is free parallel parking in the area, especially along streets a block north of King Street and beyond, and west of the tracks along Commonwealth and adjoining streets.

❸ What to bring: Water and comfy shoes. You can bring your furry friend (leashes, please), but the car show discourages them because of loud noises.

❹ Weather: The forecast is partly cloudy and a high of 89F, with 4 mph W winds and a slight chance of morning showers, increasing in the afternoon. Updates: https://tinyurl.com/yc4vjjnm
