FAIRFAX, VA—One of the cooler things about the warm-weather months now upon us are various outdoor appointment gatherings, and so it is with the monthly get-together in Old Town Square known as "Rock the Block." It begins 6:30-9:30 p.m. Friday, May 24, and continues every fourth Friday through October at 10415 North Street.

This mini-festival to celebrate the end of the work week includes live music, a beer garden, food vendors and most everything else one might expect from something of this ilk. It's vertical mingling at its best, but lawn chairs and blankets also are welcome.
