Reston Association Celebrates Reston’s 60th Anniversary Year with Community Pool Party

(Posted Jun. 27, 2024) Reston Association will honor the 60th anniversary year of Reston’s founding with a community pool party, cookout and celebration. The event, which is free for all RA members and recreation passholders, will be held Saturday, July 20 beginning at 4:00 p.m. at Lake Newport Pool and Recreation Area. 

“We are so excited to bring this new event to our community and have everyone come together to celebrate,” said Mac Cummins, CEO of Reston Association. “Restonians have often told us that our pools are some of the amenities they value the most, and so we thought it only fitting to mark this anniversary with a big community pool party.” 

This 60th anniversary celebration will include music, a cookout with complimentary food and non-alcoholic drinks, pool games, raffle prizes and more. Residents are also encouraged to share their memories and photos from 60 years of Reston with a large “memory wall” that’s aimed to evoke shared stories and experiences in the community over the years. 

The Reston 60th anniversary pool party is free to attend for all RA members and recreation passholders; admission for non-members/non-passholders is $20 for children and $30 for adults. Everyone interested in attending is asked to register online at www.reston.org/events.
