Friday Night Music Trivia at Tim's
Program Details & Spotlights
Test your melodic memory and lyrical knowledge at Tim's at Lake Anna's highly popular Friday Night Music Trivia. Hosted on the expansive waterfront deck, teams go head-to-head through multi-genre, multi-generation 'Name That Tune' and Q&A rounds for a chance to win top prizes and ultimate bragging rights. Grab a bucket of fresh steamed Maryland blue crabs, some signature hushpuppies, and cold draft beers while soaking in the late evening lakeside breeze.
There is no better way to kick off a Lake Anna weekend than watching the sunset paint the sky over the water while putting your musical knowledge to the test. Friday nights at Tim’s at Lake Anna are legendary among both year-round locals and weekend visitors. As the heat of the afternoon fades, the expansive waterfront deck transforms into a vibrant hub of friendly competition, laughter, and high-energy tunes. Accessible by both land and water, this is where the lake community comes together to unwind and transition into weekend mode.
This isn't your average pen-and-paper trivia night. Tim's Music Trivia is an interactive, auditory journey through the decades. The host keeps the energy sky-high, spinning snippets of classic rock anthems, country road trip staples, 90s pop throwbacks, and modern-day hits. You’ll find yourself humming along, whispering frantically with your teammates, and occasionally bursting into a deck-wide sing-along. Whether you are a music savant who knows every one-hit wonder from the 80s or just love a good beat, the multi-genre, multi-generation format ensures everyone on your team has a moment to shine.
While the trivia is the main event, the backdrop is undeniably Tim's signature boardwalk dining experience. There is something uniquely satisfying about picking apart a hot, seasoned Maryland blue crab or sharing a basket of their famous sweet hushpuppies while trying to remember the artist behind a 1970s acoustic riff. Wash it down with a cold draft beer or a signature cocktail as the boats gently sway in the marina slips just feet from your table. It is the ultimate fusion of classic Virginia lakeside culture and lively entertainment.
