An abundance of holiday-inspired events are being held around Fairfax County in coming weeks.
From music to shopping to visits with Santa, there is plenty to keep all ages embraced in the warmth of the holiday season. Some highlights are below.
The chef behind Taco Bamba is expanding his presence at Vienna Shopping Center with a new steakhouse.
Electric Bull, which is described as an “upscale neighborhood spot,” will open in summer 2025 at 176 Maple Avenue West, just a couple of doors away from Taco Bamba’s Vienna restaurant. The 2,488-square-foot space was occupied by Cava until the fast-casual Mediterranean chain relocated to 418 Maple Avenue East in 2023.
The 2024 Christmas shopping season is the last one that Kohl’s will spend in Herndon.
The department store will permanently close on Jan. 18 after over two decades at 2100 Centreville Road, a Kohl’s spokesperson says, confirming a report by The Burn.
