Community Corner
Reston Holiday Parade, Tree Lighting, and Sing Along
Reston Town Center will launch the festive season
with the 23rd annual Reston Holiday Parade on Friday,
November 29 at 11:00 a.m. With Macy’s-style balloons, musicians, dancers,
antique cars, characters, community groups, dignitaries, special guest emcees,
and much more, it’s full of entertainment for the whole family. This
one-of-a-kind, one-hour, half-mile parade along Market Street also welcomes the
arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus in a horse-drawn carriage. Since 1991, rain or
shine, it has been an annual tradition on the day after Thanksgiving. Every
year a different theme is selected, and in recognition of the new Silver Line
arriving in Reston, the 2013 Reston Holiday Parade will focus on transportation
with the title “Destination: Reston!”. After the parade, Santa will
stay for visits and photos until 4:30 p.m., and everyone is invited to enjoy
the Tree Lighting and community Sing Along at 6:00 p.m. in
Fountain Square.Call 703.579.6720 or visit restontowncenter.com for further information.
