Visit Old Town Manassas for the Holidays
Pink Friday, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday… whew. It’s been a memorable start to the holiday season in Old Town Manassas. Santa arrived for Santa Lights Manassas, courtesy of Virginia Railway Express (VRE), and helped with lighting the tree on the Manassas Museum lawn. The children (and adults) were giddy with holiday cheer just like every year! It looks like a Hallmark movie in Old Town Manassas at this time of the year.
HMI just wrapped up the Merry Old Town festivities – Holiday Market (sponsored by Amazon), Santa Lights Manassas (sponsored by TD Bank), ice skating at Harris Pavilion (ongoing), and so much more. Congratulations to Maria Guzman (HMI board member) for being TD Bank Woman of the Year, and Miguel Pires of Great Eats Hospitality / Zandra’s for his Man of the Year recognition for the 79th Annual Greater Manassas Christmas Parade. Visit the City of Manassas Facebook recap post for a fantastic photo gallery and replay of the parade. Happy holidays from Historic Manassas, Inc.!
