The Perfect Mother’s Day Weekend in Downtown Arlington

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, but the celebration starts all weekend long in Downtown Arlington. Whether your mom loves dogs, live music, shopping or just a good coffee and a walk, it’s easy to plan a day that feels made just for her.

Morning: Coffee & Stroll
Ease into the day with coffee and a stroll through Downtown. Grab a drink, wander past murals and pop into local coffee spots along the way.

Looking for a built-in plan? Saturday has you covered:

• Canines & Coffee from 9 to 11 a.m.
• Downtown Arlington Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If she’s a dog lover, bring her pup and stop by the dog park after coffee. If she loves browsing and fresh finds, the farmers market is an easy win.

Build the Day Around What She Loves
Skip the one-size-fits-all plan and make it personal:

• Into music? Catch a show at Levitt Pavilion in the evening. They’ll host Monte Montgomery with Marina Rocks at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
• Loves shopping? Spend the afternoon exploring boutiques and vintage spots
• Needs a reset? Book a spa appointment or self-care treatment

Downtown makes it easy to mix and match based on her vibe.

Dinner, Drinks & a Toast to Mom

Wrap up the day with dinner at one of Downtown’s restaurants. Whether it’s casual comfort food or something a little more elevated, the goal is simple. Great food and Mom not lifting a finger.

Then grab dessert, take a walk or catch live music to end the night on a high note.
