Tysons Corner Center

Last February I covered the 2016 lunar new year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, they had the festivities in the Concourse. Being that it is adjacent to the Plaza, there was a lot of traffic during the event! Colorful decorations adorned the tables leading out to the Plaza.

2016 Lunar New Year – Monkey

Because of the loud drumming, the dancing dragons brings a lot of attention to the celebration. Simultaneously the dancers move frantically throughout the crowd. Surely this is an interactive show! For this reason, reactions are as important as the movement.

As the crowds grew larger, martial artists performed a show. Some where the same performers from last year. They progress and make their presentation faster and sharper! Anyone that came by will remember the start of the year of the Monkey.

Rising from the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center, their large Christmas tree was a focal point this holiday season. Once the holiday market tents were built, and the tree put in place, the crowds started to gather. Finally it was time for the 2015 Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony!

Earl’s – Tysons, VA

Whereas Earl’s ice rink on the Plaza was a place to play and cool off, their restaurant warms you up. After all the skating, the inviting bar at the Earl’s adjacent to the Plaza is a perfect meeting spot.

Tysons Corner Center

Christmas Eve is just around the corner! With this in mind, it is appropriate for some Santa photos from the 2015 Santa Breakfast on the blog. Although I have come across a few versions of the big guy, the one at Tysons Corner Center is the real deal! As well as being patient with all the work obligations, he continues to do an amazing job every year.

In addition to the Santa Breakfast, there were many sightings of him around the mall this year. In order to open the Santa HQ, where is sat for may family portraits this holiday season, there was an opening ceremony for the set. When he opened the set, a band played, Tommy McFly from Fresh FM opened the set, and gifts were given out. Merry Christmas!
