The Annual Mt. Airy Day celebration sponsored by East and West Mt. Airy Neighbors will have new extended hours this year, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 5, and at least one new feature this year: A beer garden!

The rain date is Sunday, May 6, and admission is free. As it has for many years, the community celebration will take place at Cliveden of the National Trust and Upsala, the historic houses located across the street from each other in the 6400 block of Germantown Avenue.

Mt. Airy Day features more than 150 vendors of crafts, attic treasures and services; children’s games; The Give and Take Jugglers; musical entertainment and dance demonstrations; yoga and Zumba; a food court; and Weavers Way’s plant sale. Visitors may tour Cliveden and stroll the beautifully lush azalea-filled, dogwood-ringed grounds.

Now is the time to get involved. The committee is looking for folks who can help out in a variety of ways, from serving on the committee to helping out on the day of the event. Community service hours are available for students.

We are also seeking businesses and individuals who want to lend their financial support to Mt.Airy Day and help support the organizations that have been serving the community for more than 50 years.
