7 Things to Do in September With Kids in Northern Virginia

Oh, September. The kids are back to school, the sun is going down earlier, the nights are cooler ... and fall officially arrives.

But did you know it's also the month to eat a cheeseburger, celebrate comic books, and talk like a pirate?

Here are 7 September holidays that can help you have a ton of fun with your kids in Centreville and beyond!

1. Order a pizza
Sept. 5

Yum, yum... get me some! National Cheese Pizza Day is the perfect day to order dinner from your favorite pizza spot in Centreville! Here a few local favorite pizza places:

Have some gourmet pizza at Bella Pizza.

Brick's Pizza is a great family owned pizzeria to visit.

Brio Pizza at Fair Oaks Mall is offering 50% off flatbread on September 5th!

Little Villagio is a delightful delicatessen to visit on Main Street in Clifton.

Pizza Boli's in Fairfax Station is another great choice.

2. Celebrate grandma and grandpa!
Sept. 11

If they live nearby, take grandma and grandpa out on the town on National Grandparents' Day to their favorite restaurant in Centreville. If that's not possible? Send a card or make that call! This is also a good excuse for the kids to make a craft!

3. Eat a cheeseburger
Sept. 18

If there's anything we love more than pizza ... it's cheeseburgers, especially at restaurants like Village Cafe, Five Guys, Foster's Grill, The Burger Shack, Texas Roadhouse, or Dairy Queen on National Cheeseburger Day! By far the best dining choice for this special day is The Main Street Pub in Clifton, where their burger has been rated one of the best in the D.C. area!

4. Talk like a pirate
Sept. 19

Aaaaargh! It's talk like a pirate day! Celebrate by dressing the part. You're sure to have a swashbuckling good time!

5. Try for a hole in one
