Today, The Arc of Central Virginia joins our community and our nation in recognizing Juneteenth as a day that honors freedom, reflection, resilience, and the continued pursuit of equality and inclusion for all.

Our offices are closed today in observance of Juneteenth. We will reopen and resume normal business hours on Monday, June 22.

As an organization built on advocacy, acceptance, and empowering every person to live a life of opportunity and belonging, we celebrate the importance of this day and the progress we continue to make together.

💜🧡🎶 DAY 12 of our 12 Days of Arc Love 🎶🧡💜
🎸 TODAY IS THE DAY!! ARC AID MUSIC FESTIVAL 2026! 🎸

Before the music starts… before the stage lights up… before we welcome our community to The Field today, we wanted to share a little reminder of why we do what we do. 💜

On Friday, our incredible community partner Freedom First stopped by with their ice cream truck, Scoop, to surprise our staff and the individuals we serve with a sweet treat on a very hot day. 🍦☀️

But what you see in these smiles is so much more than ice cream.

You see joy.
You see friendships.
You see connection.
You see community.
You see belonging. 💜

THIS is The Arc of Central Virginia. 🧡

These moments: the laughter, the relationships, the feeling of being included and celebrated are exactly why we show up every day.

And it is exactly why we created Arc Aid Music Festival. 🎶

Arc Aid is more than music.
It’s more than a fundraiser.
It’s a celebration of the incredible individuals we serve, the families we support, the staff who give their hearts every day, and the community partners who believe everyone deserves a place to belong. 💜

Today, we invite YOU to come experience it for yourself.

Come listen. 🎸
Come dance. 🎶
Come eat. 🍔
Come shop. 🛍
Come meet us. 💜
Come be part of something bigger.
