This year, the shopping and dining location has made some changes to its holiday programming.The annual holiday parade is scheduled for November 27 at 11:00 a.m. However, it will not feature some of the larger balloon floats, FFX Now reports. According to a spokesperson for RTC owner BXP, strong winds have interfered with these balloons at past events. As a result, this year’s parade will focus on festive floats.RTC will also no longer offer horse-drawn carriage rides, including for Santa’s entrance, due to “safety and animal welfare considerations,” the spokesperson told FFX Now.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1Ravum_1GzLArMl00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1Ravum_1GzLArMl00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>Courtesy of Reston Town Center</figcaption></figure>Parade-day festivities will still include character meet-and-greets, selfies with Santa, and mini train rides. The mini train rides will also be available on select dates throughout the season (November 29, December 6, 13, and 20), with proceeds benefitting local charities.Guests can stick around after the parade and enjoy a Sip &amp; Stroll event from 4:30 to 8 p.m., with beverages available for purchase from participating restaurants. Live performances will begin at the pavilion at 5 p.m., and the annual tree lighting ceremony is set for 6 p.m. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3GBtkl_1GzLArMl00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3GBtkl_1GzLArMl00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>Courtesy Reston Town Center Ice Skating Pavilion</figcaption></figure>The ice-skating rink is now open, with plans to operate until March 14.
