Reston Town Center’s Annual Holiday Parade
See the 1-hour, half-mile parade along Market Street as a family this year! Kids can expect to see Santa and Mrs. Claus in a horse-drawn carriage (the reindeer are away training for the big day). The Claus family will make a second appearance later in the day at the tree lighting. The parade will take place at 11 a.m. and the tree lighting will follow at 6 p.m. Arrive early and pick up a parade bell while supplies last.
