The 39th Annual Fall Jubilee in Manassas is postponed until Saturday, October 8.

The remnants of Hurricane Ian moving into our area today will bring rain and wind to the region for at least the next three days. Initially, the annual event was slated for tomorrow, Saturday, October 1, 2022, from 10 am to 5 pm. 

Jubilee planners said this year’s event includes an assortment of fun for children and adults with over 100 craft and community booths, live music and entertainment, and food. 

“Latino Row” will be on Battle Street for Latin American Artisans, food, and music. The Fall Jubilee is free to attend.

The city canceled a household hazardous waste event scheduled for Saturday, October 1. The event was supposed to occur between 8 am and noon at the city’s transfer station, 8305 Public Works Drive. 

The following household hazardous waste collection date is Saturday, November 5, 2022, from 8 am to noon, at the same location. Residents may also bring paper for shredding. 

A weekly Saturday farmers market at the commuter lot at 9024 Prince William Street is canceled. A weekly walk with the mayor event, “Mayor on the Move,” scheduled in Downtown Manassas, is also canceled. 

Equity Prince William planned to hold an event at Harris Pavilion on Sunday, October 2, from noon to 4 p.m. A post on the group’s Facebook page notes the organization is monitoring the weather forecast and has yet to decide whether to cancel or postpone.
