There are lots of traditions around Vienna that you should know about if you’re new to town or maybe just looking to branch out after the last few years. Many of these events are really cute with little kids and I remember them fondly when my boys were smaller. They age out quickly of the little kid stuff, so buy tickets early!
- James Madison Band: 2022 Tiny Tots Concerts — Three different shows, fun songs, characters and traditionally there’s a “snow” dump at the end so if you sit in front be prepared to be dumped on (it’s not wet!) but if you have a kid who doesn’t like to be dirty, maybe sit more in the middle of the room.
- This Sunday, November 20 is the Vienna Turkey Trot — Fun run, 5k or 10k
- Meadowlark Winter Walk of Lights — Open now! About a 1 mile walk with light displays and ends with a fire pit and s’mores, cider, hot chocolate, etc.
- Vienna Church Street Stroll — Next Monday at 6 p.m. If you’re looking for something a little bigger, these were also a fun one-time event for me (some of them are far or they’re pricey, so it’s not worth it for me to make these a tradition but it was fun one time).
- Enchant at Nationals Park
- Christmas Village at Leesburg Animal Park — 2022 tickets aren’t up yet as of November 14
- Zoo Lights at the National Zoo in D.C.
- Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience in Leesburg — Now to January 29
- Bull Run Festival of Lights — Now open, 2.5 mile drive through light displays
- Wolftrap Sing Along — Free, December 3 at 4 p.m.
- VRE Santa Train Ride — Tickets go on sale on November 28 for the event on December 10
- Merry Mosaic — Many events from November to December, which includes both Santa visits and Menorah Lighting for Hanukkah
- The Nutcracker at Capital One Hall — Sunday, December 11

Unlike our competitors, Well-Paid Maids doesn’t clean your home with harsh chemicals. Instead, we handpick cleaning products rated “safest” by the Environmental Working Group, the leading rating organization regarding product safety.
The reason is threefold.
First, using safe cleaning products ensures toxic chemicals won’t leak into waterways or harm wildlife if disposed of improperly.
There’s a reason Well-Paid Maids has hundreds of positive reviews from happy clients in the D.C. area.
The home cleaning company pays cleaners — who are W-2 employees — a living wage starting at $24 an hour. Plus, cleaners are offered benefits, including insurance, 24 paid days off a year, 100% employer-paid commuting costs and more.
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, said it best: “People deserve their work to be respected and recognized. When that happens, you love what you do, and you create the best results.”
