McLean Center Cancels July 4 Fireworks, More Summer Events

MCLEAN, VA — The McLean Community Center has canceled more events in light of the new coronavirus crisis. The cancellations include Fourth of July fireworks at Langley High School and full-day summer camps. McLean Day, which would have happened on Saturday, May 16, was previously canceled.

Full refunds will be available for canceled summer camps, including Camp McLean and The Old Firehouse Summer Camp Trip. The community center plans to announce more details about free virtual two- or three-day virtual activities in place of camps.

"Without the ability to hire staff, prepare activities and meet licensing requirements, we are unable to offer these programs," MCC said in a message to members. "We have chosen to announce this decision now to allow our patrons and their families the opportunity to make alternative summer plans."

MCC will consider running a limited number of special activities in late summer depending on the public health outlook.

Due to the cancellation of McLean Day, in-person voting for the community center's governing board is canceled. Three adults and nine teens are running for three adult seats and two youth seats on MCC's governing board. Youth voters complete a youth ballot, and adults complete an adult ballot. The deadline for submitting an absentee ballot is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13. For more information on candidates visit MCC's candidate page.
