Celebrate at the Best of Arlington Party

The Best of Arlington party is the community event that Arlington deserves — a lively annual celebration that brings together the businesses, restaurants, and community figures that make the county worth living in, all nominated and voted on by residents themselves. It’s part awards ceremony, part neighborhood party, and entirely a reflection of Arlington’s engaged, locally-minded culture.

Attending means rubbing shoulders with the restaurateurs, shop owners, and community leaders who keep Arlington interesting, and the event reliably offers excellent food, drink, and the particular energy of a room full of people who genuinely love where they live. For 2026, it will be held on May 21st. Tickets are available here. Check Arlington Magazine’s website for annual dates and ticketing — it sells out consistently for good reason.
