For more than 30 years Santa has arrived at Lake Anne Plaza to kick off the Holiday Season and this year is no exception! This Saturday is the Jingle on Lake Anne complete with Gingerbread Cookie decorating and crafts for the kids, a petting zoo and of course Santa! Don’t miss the fun this Saturday from11:00 – 3:00.

This is also your last chance to pick up a unique holiday gift from the Craft Market as we close out the 2011 season.  We’ll have a few farmers left, including Fertile Plains, Grace’s Bakery, Glasscock’s Farm and a full compliment of artist and crafters with wonderful gifts that you won’t find anywhere else. The market opens at 9:00 am, Petting Zoo and kids crafts start at 11:00 and Santa arrives at 12:00. Be sure to stop in at the Reston Community Center at Lake Anne for the 13th Annual Gifts from the HeART Fine Arts Exhibition.

The market at Lake Anne is a great place to pick up unique items as holiday gifts. This year the market has been extended to run until the Dec 3rd Jingle on Lake Anne, a tradition that goes back more than 30 years. This year the Jingle will include a petting zoo, ginger bread cooking decorating, kids crafts and of course Santa arriving by barge.

The extended market includes 10 Farmers that are still set up in the parking lot. We have 3 produce vendors selling orchard and other veggies, Grace’s Bakery and Baguette Nations, Oy Vey Pickles, Honey, Goat Cheese, Spices, Olive Oil and meats from Fertile Plains. All well worth bundling up and braving a little chilly weather. Market runs Saturday from 9:00 – 12:30,(Note the later start time!) and will go until Dec 3rd.
