The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton is hosting a Brewfest this weekend, Saturday 13 August 2016.  Free bicycle parking will be available (it costs $15 to park a car at the Workhouse).

Also, bicyclists get a $5 per ticket discount. To get the discount purchase your tickets on-line using the promo code “BIKE”. Get your tickets here.

You can park your car for  free at locations 1 mile to 9.5 miles (see below) from the Workhouse, and head straight there, or join us on one of five organized pre-event rides that start from the Vulcan Parking Lot, the nearest free parking site.
