Christmas 2017 In Reston: What's Open, What's Closed

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- Christmas is right around the corner, and so is New Year's, which means it is officially the most confusing time of year when it comes to what's open and what's closed.

Not to worry, however: we've created a handy list of what's open, what's closed this holiday season in Fairfax County.

Government offices: All government offices will be shut down on Friday, Dec. 22 and on Christmas Day, Dec. 25. They will also be closed on New year's Day, Jan. 1.

Schools: Winter break already started for schools in Fairfax County on Dec. 18, and schools will remain closed through Jan. 1, reopening for classes on Tuesday, Jan. 2.

Libraries: Local libraries will be closed on Friday, Dec. 22 through Monday, Dec. 25. They will also be closed Sunday, Dec. 31 and Monday, Jan. 1.

Metro: "On Saturday, December 23, and Sunday, December 24, most Metrorail lines will run on a regular weekend schedule," WMATA said in a statement. "The only exception is the Red Line, where trains will run every 8-15 minutes as Metro's leak-mitigation project continues. Trains on the Orange, Blue, Silver, Green, and Yellow lines will operate on regular weekend schedules with no scheduled track work. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the Metrorail system will open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 11:00 p.m. Trains will operate on a Sunday schedule both days."
