Throughout the years, Tysons Corner Center has become known as a central hub for events in the Tysons area. Even in a year like no other, Tysons Corner Center wanted to engage the community with a series of socially distant events that were fun for the whole family while maintaining a focus on the health and wellness of its guests and still finding ways to give back. Thus, Tysons Corner Center launched its Drive-In Movie series, the last of which wrapped up with a holiday classic earlier this month. Similar to its drive-in series early this year, along with other drive-in events at The Boro and Capital One Center, Tysons Corner Centers holiday-themed drive-in was a hit from the start!
From car rooftops or hanging out of hatchbacks, socially distanced guests took in fun-filled movie classics like “The Sandlot,” “Aladdin,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Home Alone,” and “Elf.” Each movie featured live music from local acts, trivia, and a variety of food and beverage options from Subway, Cinnabon, Doughnuttery, Panda Express, Kung Fu Tea, Nordstrom, Seasons 52, and Coastal Flats to name a few. Guests lucky enough to win VIP tickets through the center’s radio promotions received front row spots and a to-go meal of their choosing from one of Tysons Corner Center’s 40+ eateries.
True to the spirit of giving back during the holiday season, all proceeds from the five sold-out events were donated to Tysons Corner Center’s charitable partners, including: Second Story, the local organization helping vulnerable populations in the Tysons community, and Food for Others, another great local nonprofit providing food to neighbors in need.
Tysons Corner Center looks forward to a time when more traditional events can be held, but will continue to find other opportunities to put on engaging, socially distant community events in the meantime.

No transit route directly connects Fairfax and Montgomery counties, which share miles of border along the Potomac River. That could change, depending on the results of a transit study looking at running bus routes along the Beltway over the single bridge that connects the two counties, the American Legion Bridge.
DEC 1, 2020 — Tysons, VA — Tysons Partnership sincerely appreciates Fairfax County’s support for Tysons as an economic engine for the County and region. The Board of Supervisors vote today to invest additional economic opportunity funds in Tysons enables the Partnership to continue supporting growth in Tysons and delivering value through placemaking, research planning & economic development, transportation & mobility solutions, and place branding.
With the promise of 2021 looming, we look forward to the recovery of our community, continuing to welcome new residents and employers while also welcoming back our many visitors. As the threat to public health hopefully recedes, we’ll see more public events and place activations, the launch of our new city brand, and continued foundational work toward a walkable and mobile urban center. We will also build on our reputation as a thought leader in the urban space, and as a convener and facilitator for coordination and integration between the public and private sectors.
As we look to the start of our second decade since the County’s adoption of the Comprehensive Plan for Tysons, we recognize also the Board of Supervisors’ continued commitment to work with the Partnership toward building a more robust, deeper capacity public-private partnership model. As our community looks to recover from the dramatic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the partnership model will well-position the Tysons Partnership to lead economic recovery efforts and serve as a catalyst for continued implementation of the urban vision expressed in the County’s Comprehensive Plan.

Chief executive Sol Glasner said the proposed cuts “would cause profound economic harm to Tysons and the region’s other urban centers, all of which are dependent on transit.”
The Board of Supervisors on Dec. 1 approved a request by the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services to use a specialized procurement method for the upcoming construction of Tysons Fire Station No. 29 and its associated bus-transit facility.
