What is the VIA?
The Village Improvement Association (VIA) is an all-volunteer organization made up of Irvington residents, striving to make their village an even better place to live.
Our mission is to work hard and have fun serving the community and offering an enriched quality of life for our residents, friends, neighbors, and visitors in Irvington, Virginia. Our goal is to bring the community together through annual events such as our Farmers Markets, Car Boot Sales, USAF Concerts, Parades, Halloween Trunk or Treat, and the amazing Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot.
The Village Improvement Association has been around for many decades and has volunteered tirelessly to improve the overall beauty, ambiance, character, and cultural vitality of Irvington. Throughout the Village of Irvington, we have functioned as a resource for volunteerism in support of the VIA mission and goals.
ALL the VIA Events are organized and managed by the dedicated volunteers of the Village Improvement Association. We’d like to extend a special thank you to all the vendors, guests, sponsors, and volunteers from our local community who help make the many Irvington VIA Events such a great success, year after year. Thank you so much!

Car Boot Sale
So much fun! Think Flea Market or Junk in the Trunk Sale. Everything must go! Sellers show up, set up, and sell. Buyers explore the goods displayed in and around the participating car "boots" and walk away with real deals!
The US Air Force Band Concert
The thrilling United States Air Force Heritage of America band performs annually. This outstanding concert, held on the Historic Irvington Commons, is free and open to the community. Bring your chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets. Enjoy an evening of fabulous family entertainment!
