Fairfax County planning commissioners are recommending approval of a three-tower continuing-care compound on a 5-acre Tysons site currently occupied by the Shipgarten dining and entertainment complex.
If approved by the Board of Supervisors, the parcel at the intersection of Chain Bridge Road and Colshire Drive will be transformed into Corso Tysons — a 427-unit assisted-living facility along with a theater, restaurants and retail outlets that will be open to the public.
Hear ye, hear ye! If you’re one of those frustrated by the ticket kerfuffle tripping up the Maryland Renaissance Festival, perchance Tysons could interest you in a little Renn Fest of its own.
Shipgarten is hosting its Summer Renaissance Festival next Saturday, Aug. 16, from 1-6 p.m. The festival will include presumably biergarten-sized variants of arrow shooting, axe throwing and jousting.
(Updated at 1:25 p.m. on 9/21/2023) Tysons residents looking to usher in fall by tossing back some cold brews will have a couple of options this month.
Oktoberfest at The Boro
People will be talking about Bruno at Shipgarten in Tysons this Thanksgiving weekend.
Characters from the Disney movie “Encanto” will put on a live performance on Saturday (Nov. 26) as part of the biergarten’s Thanksgiving Barks & Brews Festival, which will run from 1 to 6 p.m. that day.
