ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Rock The Ave returns to Carlyle Crossing Plaza on Friday, Oct. 9, from 5 to 8 p.m., and for the first time it runs into the evening.

Organizers are calling the third installment a "Twilight Edition," a shift from the daytime format of the previous two years. The event is free and open to the public at 2455 Mandeville Lane, steps from the Eisenhower Avenue Metro station.

Carlyle Crossing, the mixed-use development anchored by Wegmans, is presenting the event with the Eisenhower Partnership, a network of residents, businesses and public officials working on development in the Eisenhower Valley.
