The organizer canceled the Virginia edition after construction and occupancy delays prevented Dulles Town Center Expo from opening in time. A proposed mall fallback could not meet Loudoun County permitting requirements. The separate Maryland edition took place November 7–8 in Boyds; it is not a replacement date for Virginia tickets.
