2019 Tysons Tailgate – Tysons Partnership

Valo Park, McLean, VA

Last month, I photographed the 2019 Tysons Tailgate at Valo Park. Since it was the 4th annual edition, the Tysons Partnership team put together another well-attended and fun event! Compared to the downpour that dampened some of the spirits last year, they had amazing autumn weather for an evening outside.

2019 Tysons Tailgate

In case you have not seen my previous events for the Tysons Partnership, know that I enjoy working for them. Of course they have some of the most well-attended Tysons events. Also, their members enjoy having their photos taken, and they come to events wanting to build the next great city. Moreover the Tysons Partnership team works very well together. Although you cannot see in these photos, there were some big challenges to overcome this evening. With little time to come up with solutions, they pulled it off while not letting it show on their faces. It only makes me want to work harder to show off their efforts with awesome photos!

Valo Park, Tysons, VA

The 2018 Tysons Tailgate was held last month at Valo Park. In brief, this is one of the most popular events produced by the Tysons Partnership! However, this was the first time I was attending. Given that I heard so much about this event in previous years, I was looking forward to this event. As can be seen from the photos, there was a very good reason that all of the photos were under a tent. RAIN! This was not only rain, but a driving downpour that kept everyone cozy.

2018 Tysons Tailgate

As far as Tysons Partnership events go, this was unquestionable the most casual. Now that does not mean it was the most fun as the members really bring a friendly energy to their events. The flexibility in the less-than-ideal weather helped to make this event go smoothly! I look forward to coming back next year in hopefully nicer weather.

Valo Park – Tysons, VA

Envisioning the future is important for the plans for Tysons. With this in mind, the Tysons Chamber created a new signature event, the 2017 Tysons 2050. At this time the event was separated into Live, Work and Play sections. Community leaders in these areas talked about how they see Tysons in light of the decisions being made today.

Valo Park was a perfect venue to illustrate a vision of the future. After all the region is growing quickly in 2017. Moreover it could be a metropolis 33 years into the future. In the vendor area, high technology companies displayed new products. Together with the speakers, this sparked interesting conversations in the venue. With attention to the future, I felt privileged to be documenting the evening. Regardless of how things look in 2050, events like this will keep the long view shorter as we roll along.
