Carlyle Crossing’s Pinot & Paints on the Plaza powered by DC Fray is coming back again this year! The team is bringing back its crowd-favorite Art Festival, Wine Tasting and Painting experience on Saturday April 26th.
Pinot & Paints on the Plaza is a Free Art festival and hands-on creative experience that blends the joy of painting with the relaxation of wine. Set in one of the city’s most exciting neighborhoods, this event is all about expression, community, and fun.
What to Expect
General Admission is free and includes access to the plaza, a DIY arts & crafts station, live music, local artist market, games, and a cash bar.
For those looking to elevate their experience, attendees can choose a Tasting ticket for wine samples, a complimentary drink, and a food voucher, or opt for the Paint & Sip ticket to join one of two expert-led painting sessions with all supplies provided.
Each art demo includes 45 minutes of guided instruction and everything you need to leave with a finished 5×7 canvas. Spots are limited for the art experience so if thats your jam be sure to snag your tickets early!
Why you should come!
Pinot & Paints isn’t your average paint night. With its outdoor backdrop, live music, shopping and games, this event makes it easy to meet new people or share a unique experience with friends or a date. Plus, the end result is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece (and maybe a few Instagram-worthy moments along the way).
Location, Location, Location
Set in the heart of Carlyle Crossing, one of Alexandria’s most walkable and energetic communities, the event puts you steps away from a mix of restaurants, shops, and green spaces—making it the perfect spring evening destination.
RSVP For Free!
Check out all the details and secure your spot through DC Fray’s official event page. While the art festival is totally free the paint & sip sessions are likely to sell out quickly as they have limited spots. We wouldn’t suggest waiting to claim your ticket.
