Visit Alexandria’s President & CEO Todd O’Leary leads with the belief that travel is a force for good, inspiring visitors to deepen their travel experiences by connecting with Alexandria’s myriad stories. That’s why 2026 National Travel and Tourism Week (May 3-9, 2026) isn’t just any week. It’s a time to reflect and celebrate the important role that tourism plays in bringing people together across cultures and geographies, creating shared understandings and memories that last a lifetime. This year’s theme, “Postmarked: Essential,” takes on special significance as Alexandria prepares to host several major events this summer, bringing the stories of our local community onto the world stage.
“This year’s National Travel and Tourism Week celebrations seem particularly fitting, given all the momentum we’re seeing in Alexandria’s hospitality industry,” said Visit Alexandria’s President & CEO Todd O’Leary. “As tourism grows in importance here, the dividends from visitor spending support our small business owners and ultimately our residents. Visit Alexandria is proud of the work done by our local industry to keep this city top of mind for domestic and international travelers.”
Last fall, Visit Alexandria announced that Alexandria’s tourism spending from travelers residing more than 50 miles away grew to $1 billion for the first time in history during calendar year 2024. Additionally, Fiscal Year 2025 city consumption tax revenues reached a record $88 million—supporting core city services, saving the average Alexandria household $832 annually, and sustaining more than 5,700 local jobs.
In conjunction with this year’s America 250th commemorations, Alexandria will host programs, exhibitions, historic tours and signature events, including the three-day Sails on the Potomac festival—all of which showcase Alexandria’s renowned historic character and ever-evolving progressive nature. As Alexandria continues to make waves on the world stage, especially as a destination for sports tourism, the city will serve as the official Team Base Camp for the Croatian National Football Team, a FIFA top ten ranked team, during the World Cup. With state-of-the-art facilities, a wide range of accommodations, a wealth of visitor experiences and incredible transportation access, Alexandria’s prominence in sports tourism is growing. (more…)

Welcome to Del Ray—where charm shows up right on time and decides to stay. This delightful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home strikes that rare balance between cozy character and modern ease.

The Choral Arts Society of Washington will bring Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem, a 40-minute plea for peace written in 1936 as Europe moved toward another world war, to Alexandria’s Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center on April 18th. This timely concert asks the audience to imagine how we create peace in an era dominated by strife.
What makes this performance unlike anything in the area this season: midway through the concert, the music pauses. Professor Peter Loge, Director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, will lead the audience through a guided civic conversation about the questions the music raises. Not a lecture, but a genuine moment of reflection, together, in the room. (more…)

This home feels both timeless and effortlessly livable. The main entrance has been thoughtfully placed on the right side of the home. A decorative iron gate opens to the brick courtyard, offering enhanced privacy and security while creating a gracious and secluded approach to the residence. Inside, the entry sits perfectly between a welcoming family room and an updated, chef-inspired kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Just beyond, a door leads to a serene enclosed garden with a wooden privacy fence and brick patio — an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening grilling, or relaxed gatherings. A discreetly positioned powder room completes the main level. New flooring over the original hardwood floors anchor the living spaces on the main floor, while a gas fireplace creates a warm focal point in the living room.
The gated front entrance framed in iron adds an extra layer of charm and distinction. Along the rear, newly installed privacy fencing is softened by curated plantings that will bloom beautifully with the seasons. Upstairs, the original wood flooring sets the tone for the well-appointed ensuite bath to the primary suite and added closets to each of the three bedrooms, enhancing both comfort and functionality. Windows on three sides fill the home with natural light throughout the day, highlighting elegant crown and chair-rail moldings as well as thoughtfully integrated built-ins. The laundry and storage are in the basement.
