Here are six surefire ways to experience winter traditions and they are right in our back yard.
- Experience a true "Washington" Christmas: Christmas at Mount Vernon has a plethora of activities for the whole family ranging from fireworks at the Christmas Illumination to Aladdin, the adorable Christmas Camel!
- Go Ice Skating: Through December 24th you can skate on the new Tysons Corner Center Plaza or bust a move on the Reston Town Center Pavilion Ice Rink through the winter season. If you're busy, there's no rush, the skating here is open until March. Also, art and figure 8's match perfectly along the National Mall on the National Gallery of Art Skating Ice Rink.
- Attend a Holiday Light Show: The mesmerizing Meadowlark Walk of Lights takes you on a lighted trail through a holiday fantasy land through January 4th. Timed tickets are required so get yours today! Or, in Centreville, drive through the Bull Run Festival of Lights and then be sure to stop at the Holiday Village at the end of the route for some s'mores, children's activities and holiday merchandise.
- Say Hello to Frosty: The theme for this year's ICE! at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center features Frosty the Snowman.
- Attend Holidays at the George Mason University Center for the Arts with a variety of performances in November and December or make plans to spend holidays at the Kennedy Center at one of their enlivening performances.
- Go Shopping: One of the biggest holiday attractions in the region is our world-class shopping. The grand kickoff happens on Black Friday and Fairfax County is your one-stop shopping destination for everything on your family's list!
- And don't forget donuts with Santa at the Workhouse Arts Center, Nov 29th - Dec 20th.
