Do you have a favorite vendor at our Rosslyn Freshfarm Farmers Market? Get to know My Alfajor and their special empanadas!

Their empanadas are available with a variety of fillings including chicken, beef, and cheese. Take them warm or frozen to save for later. And they, of course, offer Alfajores! These sweet treats consist of two shortbread-like cookies that are sandwiched together with a filling.

The Farmers Market takes place every Wednesday, through October, at Central Place Plaza from 3-7PM: rosslynva.org/freshfarm

Approximately 700 people provided valuable input during the first community engagement for Gateway Park. This helped inform the development of the draft concepts: the Potomac Stitch, the Rosslyn Ramble, and the Gateway Commons.

Arlington County Parks and Recreation is now asking for your thoughts on these designs, and which most closely matches community members' priorities for the park!

Please review the video presentation that details the three draft concept designs, and share your feedback across the designs through this feedback form by Friday, July 19. Your input will be instrumental in developing a final concept that best reflects the community's vision for Gateway Park: https://publicinput.com/w8886

Ever wondered what these new panels are at the Rosslyn Metro Station?

These are works by local artist Johab Silva, titled The Unbroken Stone No. 1-6. Each panel draws inspiration from natural stones and rock formations, stemming from the artist's personal experiences such as travels to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil or browsing jewelry at local businesses in São Paulo.

This is just one piece of our Art Elevated project, in partnership with Metro's Art in Transit program and MOCA Arlington! There are additional artworks from the Arlington Artists Alliance throughout the station. Learn more about this project: rosslynva.org/artelevated

Let's close out AAPI Heritage Month with a party!

The Sari-Sari Pop-Up Night Market will take over Upside on Moore food hall this Friday, May 31 from 5-10PM. Kam and 46 x SAMASAMA will bring you a vibrant selection of local artists, chefs, and makers. The event is free and open to the public: https://bit.ly/3yGsFnV

Vanessa and Elaine of Kam and 46 are Filipino-Americans from Hawaii and California raised in an immigrant household. Kam and 46 is an ode to their culture, and sharing their food is an extension of sharing a piece of us and our home.

Les and Seda are co-curators of SAMASAMA (Tagalog for "all together"), which began with the humble mission of celebrating diversity through art and gathering. It has evolved to curate year-round programs, events, and partnerships to honor ancestral and indigenous roots while pushing creative boundaries to grow understanding of multicultural identities.

This event is free and open to the public—any donations made during ticket registration will be directed to sustaining SAMASAMA’s cultural offerings. Shop local, support some amazing small businesses, and celebrate!

Notice how we're elevating art over construction at the Rosslyn Metro station!

Art Elevated is a temporary new public art exhibit on display now at both the station entrance along N Moore Street and at the foot of the station’s long escalators. While construction panels cover the escalators, eight art pieces from local Arlington artists beautify and add color to this corner of the neighborhood.

The BID was able to accomplish this through partnership with Metro's program as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, Arlington Artists Alliance, and American Real Estate Partners. Every community partner played a key role in bringing this project to life. Learn more: rosslynva.org/artintransit
