Hylton Performing Arts Center: The Power Of Art

July 17, 2014 by

Manassas gained a world-class performing arts facility in 2010 with the opening of the Hylton Performing Arts Center. Located on the campus of George Mason University, this nine-story building boasts two unique performance spaces – a 1,121 seat opera house with exceptional acoustics and magnificent sightlines, as well as a smaller 270-seat theater that can be easily modified to accommodate a number of different seating approaches.

In addition, the center provides space for a wide number of other arts groups. Performances in the main hall vary from symphony and orchestral music to country, bluegrass and jazz. In addition, theatrical and dance groups also take the stage. The Potomac Arts Academy located on-site offers a wide array of educational programs for young visual and performing artists. This beautiful copper-clad building is an exceptional addition to the area’s cultural life. Visit the Hylton's website to learn more about this Manassas performing arts space.

Old Dominion Speedway and Dragstrip: Drive Hard

July 10, 2014 by

One of the most famous racetracks in the Mid-South region, Old Dominion has played host to NASCAR for many, many years and is overloaded with history. Although this isn’t one of the most famous NASCAR tracks in the country, it’s an awesome place to catch fast-paced racing action. On Friday nights, drag races kick off the evening with intense action: crazy machines taking off down the strip at incredible speeds. Saturday is when NASCAR kicks into high gear, with a variety of different car classes competing. The raceway has undergone a number of much-needed capital improvements in recent years, and regulars rave about the new bathrooms. It’s also one of the few NASCAR tracks in the country that lets you bring your own food and drink, but no glass bottles are permitted. For private events, Old Dominion even offers people the chance to get behind the wheel of a NASCAR-class vehicle and take it for a spin.

Okra’s Cajun Creole: Bayou Flavors

June 26, 2014 by

Virginia sits on the border of the American South, and Manassas is a great place to sample some of the robust and flavorful dishes that come from that region. Cajun and Creole cuisine folds classic French traditions in with the native ingredients and diverse cultures of the South, and locals rave about the delicious dishes on offer at Okra’s. Named after the distinctive vegetable that is a staple in gumbos, Okra’s has been serving appreciative regulars in the heart of Old Town for years. Some of the best dishes on the menu include the delicious Choctaw oysters – bivalves roasted on the half shell with creamy corn, Andouille sausage, and herbs, as well as the alligator bites. Not too many restaurants around Manassas serve alligator, and it’s a unique delicacy. The variety of New Orleans style po’ boy sandwiches on offer is impressive – try the fried oysters. Okra’s also stocks a number of excellent Louisiana microbrews.
