Hello Rachel and thank you for contacting us. The Arlington show is no longer being held in May. How we had it listed twice was a mistake. Thanks to you I have fixed it.
That show has been moved to September 20 & 21, 2014. For more information, paste the link into your browser:
http://artfestival.com/Festivals/Arlington_Festival_of_the_Arts_Virginia.ASPX.
Also, the little asterisk you see means the show dates have been verified. It is really only there to help me. At a glance I know which shows I still need to update.
Thanks for your help, Jacki Bils
