Curated Events
EVENTS IN RESTON, HERNDON, AND BEYOND
There’s a distinct “get-out-and-do-something” vibe in the air this week—from lakeside paddles to dance-worthy concerts and starlit movie nights. Whether you're gliding through Lake Accotink with a naturalist or singing along at Herndon’s Friday Night Live, there’s no excuse to stay home. Reston Town Center is bringing the family fun with a sunset screening of Coco (and yes, there are blankets involved). It’s a great week to shake off the indoors and soak up what makes this area feel like home.
A Final Note
YOU KNOW YOU’RE FROM RESTON WHEN…
“…you can’t decide if you’re a kayak pro or just here for the gelato!”
Until next time,
