Delegate Ian Lovejoy, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, shared updates on community events and public service announcements through his Twitter account in early August 2025.
On August 2, 2025, Lovejoy posted about a statewide event: “It’s tax holiday weekend!” The same day, he reported visiting a local festival: “Stopped by to talk to folks at the Manassas African-American Heritage Festival (going on until 6pm today). Thank you for your feedback and encouragement. Off to know doors to continue those discussions- perfect day for it. Riker, as always, stole the show.”
The following day, August 3, 2025, Lovejoy reminded residents about the ongoing event: “PSA: Today is the last day of tax free weekend!”
Virginia’s annual sales tax holiday allows consumers to purchase certain items without paying state sales tax for a limited period each year. The event typically includes school supplies, clothing, footwear, hurricane preparedness items, and energy-efficient products.
The Manassas African-American Heritage Festival is an annual community event celebrating African-American culture and history in Manassas, Virginia. Local officials and community members often participate in the festival’s activities.
