Potomac Day Nears
Annual parade, classic car show, music and rides returns Oct. 22.
What’s more fun than a parade, clowns and candy? Scurrying up a climbing wall? Sliding down inflatable slides? Riding a pony, petting an alpaca, or cuddling a pig?

Oct. 22 is Potomac Day 2016 — and Potomac residents are already anticipating the excitement of the annual family day.
