Friday

Arts Festival: The Sugarloaf Crafts Festival kicks off at 10 a.m. this morning and goes til Sunday at the Dulles Expo Center. More than 250 artisans will sell their pottery, sculptures, jewelry, home décor, furniture and home accessories, photographs and more. Many of the artists will be offering live demonstrations, so you can get a "behind the scenes" look at how their creations are made.
Theatre: Friday is opening night for "Frozen," presented by the Elden Street Players in Herndon. The group describes the plot on their website as "an extraordinary play that entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims and his psychologist to explore our capacity for forgiveness, remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out entirely."
