Axes and O's Presents: Tails, Tales, and Ales!

Axes and O's, Northern Virginia’s premier urban axe bar and entertainment venue, is excited to host the community event, Tails, Tales, and Ales!

The afternoon will feature an extraordinary mix of local authors, artisans, food, craft beer, and pet adoptions, all coming together to create an unforgettable experience for the Loudoun community.

A Festival with a Purpose

At its heart, Tails, Tales, and Ales is more than just a book and craft fair. The event supports local animal rescue organizations, with 100% of vendor donations going directly to benefit shelter pets in need.

“We wanted to create a fun, free event that spotlights local talent, connects the community, and makes a real difference,” said Tara Hampton, Founder/CEO of Axes and Os. “It’s about stories, wagging tails, and raising a glass together.”

Highlights of the Event

● Meet the Authors: Over 30–50 writers will be on site to sign books, share stories, and inspire future authors.

● Workshops & Breakouts: A special VIP session, “So You Want to Write a Book”, will be hosted from 2–3 PM.

● Pet Adoptions: Attendees will have the chance to meet adoptable pets and support local rescue efforts.

● Food & Drink: Local food, specialty ales, and themed drinks will keep guests refreshed and energized.

● Family-Friendly Fun: Expect live entertainment, face painting, raffles, and even a chance for guests to try axe throwing!

Axes and Os is more than just an axe-throwing venue; it’s a place where community and creativity meet. Hosting unique events, local showcases, and unforgettable gatherings, Axes and Os is proud to serve Sterling and the greater Loudoun County area.
