2017 First Responders Day – Tysons Corner Center

The Plaza

Last week, I photographed the 2017 First Responders Day on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to the event last year, many of the same departments attended the event. At this time, there was a nice retro police cruiser from the Fairfax County Police. It was undoubtedly the most popular backdrop for requested photos! From the large police lights on top of the car to the nostalgic model car, I had plenty of opportunities there.

On the garage top next to the Plaza, the Fairfax 1 helicopter planned to land so kids could get up close to the vehicle and the crew. Prior to its arrival, the security team at Tysons let me know a few minutes before it arrived, so I headed up to get in place. In testing my settings before the helicopter arrived, I made some awesome movie-like portraits of the security in place:

Tysons, Virginia

Last summer, the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center was set up for the 2016 First Responders Day. Vehicles from Fairfax County services populated the Plaza. Officers and firefighters attended in order to show kids and the public to their capabilities. While they were there, the police officers did have the capability to fingerprint kids that were there.

The Fairfax County Ambulance was open in order to show all the gear inside. Given that there was a lot to see, it was a popular stopping point.

A ladder truck from the Fairfax County Fire Department also visited the Plaza. However, they parked on the street below, and extended a ladder above the crowd! Of course it was an attention- getter with fire fighters climbing the length of the ladder high above the Plaza.

Finally, the Fairfax 1 police helicopter landed on the roof of the adjacent garage. The sound of it approaching made it the star of the show!

Compared to some of the larger event, there were smaller 2016 Plaza summer events that I photographed. In addition to the Summer Concert Series, there were other weekend days that the Plaza was filled with crowds. Certainly these are also important to show the community building that the Macerich team is doing.

Cuatro De Mayo

The Tysons Fit Club took their meeting outside for one of their workouts. Being close to May 5, they brought in La Sandia to bring out food and drinks for after the workout was completed. In addition, they had a mariachi band to fill the Plaza with music setting the mood for the occasion!

VietFest

A cultural festival celebrating Vietnam and their many residents in the area took over the Plaza. Food, fashions, and shows were some of the highlights of their annual event!
