Feel like channeling your inner kid this weekend? Start with a laugh-fest Friday night in Herndon as Firefly Revue spins your wild ideas into improv gold. On Saturday, slip on some wings and wander into Reston’s Fairy Festival for woodland make-believe and pint-sized magic. Cap it all with a hand-cranked scoop at Sunday’s “Making Ice & Ice Cream” workshop—because nothing says summer nostalgia like spinning your own vanilla swirl.

Reston and Herndon crank up the volume each summer, transforming lakesides, town squares, and pocket parks into seven free, genre-hopping concert series. Grab a lawn chair (or dance barefoot in the grass) and let everything from bluegrass to big-band to rock & roll set your weeknight soundtrack. Plan your sonic summer with the full schedule.
