Reston Festival 2011 Saturday & Sunday, July 9th & 10th Reston Town Center The festival is an opportunity for the people of Reston to come together and celebrate the birthday of their community in a convivial and entertaining atmosphere. The concept is to provide participatory experiences for the whole family where everyone can have fun and find something to learn, do, see, buy, hear, or taste.
A virtual festival will kick off online several months prior to the live event to solicit suggestions, contest entries, and program voting. Many of these social media activities will then culminate in live events during the festival weekend.
This year’s theme: “Reston Through the Decades”
Each decade area will be sponsored exclusively by a major sponsor. There will be other opportunities to contribute in-kind in the areas of telecommunications, logistics, and prizes.
This year’s festival will celebrate Reston through the decades. The grounds will be organized into four color coordinated areas representing the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and finally the 90s and beyond. Each decade will have an assortment of theme-coordinated activities including historical displays, kids´ corner, street performers, contests, food vendors, local organizations, a featured charity and various merchants.
