Alexandria Summer Restaurant Week begins August 18-27, and will showcase the inventiveness of local chefs from participating restaurants in neighborhoods throughout the city, including Old Town, Del Ray, Carlyle and the West End. 

The USCGC Eagle will visit Alexandria September 4-8. The ship will dock at the Robinson Terminal South Pier, and host free tours on September 4 and 6.

In September 2016, the Alexandria City Council voted unanimously to begin the process of renaming Jefferson Davis Highway in Alexandria. Submit your suggestions for new names in an online survey.
