Find outdoor shows around Reston on Thursdays and Sundays from June

The Reston Community Center is pleased to announce that the free summer concerts will return to venues around Reston starting in June.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2020, RCC has offered a much reduced performance list. With falling COVID-19 rates and easing public health restrictions, guests can expect a series of more typical shows at Reston Town Square Park, Lake Anne Plaza, and Reston Station in 2021.

“The more people vaccinated, the safer the community,” said Leila Gordon, RCC Executive Director. “The steps we have all taken to stop the spread have worked, and we are seeing public health measures responding accordingly. We will carefully monitor COVID-19 data, government guidelines, and vaccination rates to ensure that we are providing environments that comply with public health best practices. “

The partners of the more than 50 performances are also engaged in the approach and hope for a more normal summer filled with the sounds of music and people having fun.
