Reston Association’s Winterfest Returns To Welcome Holiday Season

Press release from the Reston Association:

Reston Association is proud to announce the return of Winterfest, a three-day event that’s perfect to kick off the holiday season. This year’s event, which will run December 5 –7 from 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at Brown’s Chapel Park, looks to be bigger and better than before; new additions include live musical performances each night, an expanded Enchanted Forest, bigger light displays on the ‘Light Up the Park’ walk, a ‘Grinch’s Village’ and a Santa Experience – all included in one spectacular event. Returning favorites are the Vendor Village for holiday shopping from local sellers, bonfires and smores, the pop-up bar, food vendors and more. Winterfest is free for all Reston Association members; admission is $8 for non-members ages 3-17, and $18 for non-members 18+.

“We’re thrilled to be doing Winterfest for another year!” said Laura Kowalski, Director of Recreation Services for Reston Association. “We looked at last year as our ‘pilot’ year and had an incredible response from our membership and the community. This year we're bringing more lights and more magic to Browns Chapel Park, and we can’t wait to see everyone enjoy this new holiday tradition.”

Winterfest also presents an opportunity to give back to the Reston community through its Enchanted Forest. The area will feature up to 100 holiday trees, fully decorated by an accompanying sponsor. Sponsorship opportunities for the Enchanted Forest are open to businesses, families, or groups, and all trees in the Enchanted Forest will be donated to families in need around Reston to ensure all have a magical holiday season. Groups interested in sponsoring a tree for Winterfest can click the tree reservation page for more information.
Registration/ticket sales will open in mid-October.
