Thursday evening concerts coming to Lake Anne this summer

Lake Anne’s plaza will once again spring to life this summer with concerts.

Lake Anne Live! — an event series that kicked off last year — brings Thursday evening concerts to the plaza from June 15 through July 27.

The free concerts will feature music and dance from local musicians and dance instructors. Attendees will also have the chance to dance along the instructors, according to a release by the Lake Anne and Washington Plaza Merchant Association (LAWPA).

In a statement to FFXnow, the LAWPA team said they decided to continue the series this year due to popular demand.

“Because of the great response, especially to our dance nights, and because of repeated requests from our community and neighbors, we decided to have them again this year,” LAWPA said. “Our aim is to bring our community together for dancing, music, and laughter through the Summer.”

The line-up includes the following:

• June 15 (6-9 p.m.): Salsa Instruction and Dance with David Norton
• June 22, (6-9 p.m.): Swing Instruction and Dance with Gottaswing; pet adoptions by Lucky Dog Animal Rescue
• June 29 (7-9 p.m.): Bruce Corsino concert
• July 6 (6-9 p.m.): Bachata Instruction and Dance with David Norton
• July 13 (7-9 p.m.): To be announced on Lake Anne Plaza’s social media pages
• July 20 (7-9 p.m.): Concert with the Reston Community Orchestra

The plaza is located at 1609 Washington Plaza North. All concerts are free.
