Park Ridge Elementary School

At 2000 Parkway Boulevard, Stafford, VA 22554; located directly across the street from Porter Library.

We prefer to hold Bluemont concerts outside if possible. Summer weather can change quickly and is sometimes hard to predict. Always go to the outdoor concert site first; if the concert has moved, proceed to the nearby indoor site. Decision to move indoors will be posted at site and broadcast over local radio stations.

Stafford Summer ConcertWelcome to Stafford County

Historic Stafford has many quaint and interesting places to visit. A walk by our historic Falmouth colonial buildings or the beautifully maintained modern homes reminds us of the rich traditions of our community.

There are wonderful restaurants, a bed and breakfast, shops of all kinds and a wealth of history here in Stafford County.
