We’ve mapped every new taproom, pinpointed the tiniest galleries you’ll ever squint at, and queued the live music so you never miss a beat. Crack a cold one, lace up those walking shoes, and let’s make June feel endless.

TINY GALLERIES: BIG FUN

Tiny museums are popping up all over Reston & Herndon—some hidden in the woods, others right downtown. They’re called Free Little Art Galleries, and they let anyone take a miniature masterpiece and leave one behind.

EVENTS IN RESTON, HERNDON, AND BEYOND

Ready for a week that’s basically a live mixtape? Kick things off by cutting loose at NextStop’s Footloose, roll into Herndon’s Friday Night Live, then twist and shout during the Beatlemania takeover at Reston Station. Reston Town Center cranks it higher with Cowboy Mouth on Saturday and a kid-friendly silent disco mid-week, while Lake Anne’s Motown-soaked Sunset Concert lets you cool down by the water. Grab a lawn chair, your best dad dance moves, and let June’s soundtrack play on.
