*Summer Outdoor Festival Features Top Local Bands & Pop-Up Beer Gardens*

The 9th Annual Del Ray Music Festival will take place on Saturday, July
23 from 3pm to 8pm. Local musicians will perform on two stages at the Pat
Miller Neighborhood Square, located at the intersection of Mount Vernon
Avenue and Oxford Avenue in the heart of Del Ray.

Headlining this year's festival is award-winning guitarist Anthony
Pirog, a recipient of the Washington Area Music Association's Best Modern
Rock Instrumentalist award. In an interview with *Guitar Moderne*, Andy
Summers, the guitarist of The Police, recently said Pirog is "one of my
favorites at the moment." *The Washington Post *has praised Pirog for
his “fusion
of talent and creativity," while *Guitar Player Magazine *named him one of
the “Rising Artists You Must Hear."

New this year, Mount Vernon Avenue will be closed to traffic for the
three blocks adjacent to the stage, and seven of Del Ray's top restaurants
will host pop-up beer gardens -- a first for an outdoor street festival in
the City of Alexandria. "The Del Ray Community is excited about this

neighborhood for fun in Alexandria," said Del Ray Business Association
