November is the start of the holiday shopping season! Although we are still more Thanksgiving that Christmas, they started the 2016 #imwithsanta events in Tysons Corner Center and surrounding areas. In the same fashion as last year, Santa visited stores and events to start spreading the holiday cheer.

Because Santa is so popular on social media, the hashtag #imwishsanta trended in Tysons! With all of his sightings, this was popular to keep up with where he was in the area. As much as he was approached, he accommodated younger and older with some time. Following a sighting, it was impossible not to get a little more excited for Christmas!

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!
