Every Saturday, as the sun sets, Virginians come together for a different musical act at the Reston Town Center: They set up their lawn chairs and spread Tupperware picnics around the streets and sidewalks surrounding the glass domed pavilion that hosts Summer Concerts Series.

The Saturday shows are commonly playing a medley of jazz, blues, and swing, populated by a cheerful throng of neighbors who travel from all around the state to enjoy the upbeat mood Reston's town center offers. With a dance floor at the foot of the stage, and plenty of space for seating, heat or chill, rain or shine, the concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and last until 10, enough time to dine at one of many restaurants before picking up dessert as the show begins.
