The “Annual Creek Party” at Widewater Beach is scheduled for June 27.
But first, the Stafford County Board of Supervisors must approve a permit to allow the party to take place in the river community.
There will be live music, a food truck, and games for families and neighbors. The party is a celebration of birthdays for the Curry family who lives at 111 Woodrow Road on Aquia Creek.
The event is a private festival open to friends of the Curry family. Due to the nature the party, a loudspeaker permit was issued by the county’s sheriff’s office so the party could take place.
Live music will begin at 2 p.m. and end at 10 p.m., according to the permit. According to county documents, the Curry family told Stafford officials guests at the festival will not be able to stay at their home but could find suitable lodging at hotels on Route 610 in North Stafford.
Alcoholic beverages will be permitted at the festival but will not be sold, according to county documents. The Curry family has held the festival at their home in the Widewater beach area of the county for the past 10 years. The Board of Supervisors will vote to approve or deny the application for the party on Tuesday.
Stafford’s Widewater peninsula, with Aquia Creek to the west and the Potomac River to the east — is the site of one of Virginia’s newest state parks – Widewater State Park. Widewater became a state park in 2006 but has yet to be developed.
Camp grounds, a boat launch, picnic areas, and hiking are all planned for Widewater State Park. When built, it will join Leesylvania and Mason Neck state parks that also sit along the Potomac River.
