Holiday Displays Chosen By Lottery Installed On Vienna Town Green

VIENNA, VA — Three holiday displays are being installed for the season on the Vienna Town Green after a lottery process.

The Town of Vienna held its first contest for residents to submit holiday displays to go with the live Christmas tree at the Freeman Store and Museum. The winning displays were a menorah to celebrate Hanukkah submitted by Chabad Tysons, a lighted dreidel to celebrate Hanukkah submitted by Jewish Moms of Vienna, and a winter solstice lighted display submitted by Shelley Mountjoy.

"We live in a multicultural community, and we wanted to provide an opportunity for various winter holiday traditions to be honored in our public space," said Vienna Town Manager Mercury Payton in a statement. "Residents from all walks of life gather on the Town Green for celebrations throughout the year, and we look forward to seeing various festive displays that represent our community during the season of peace and light."

The Christmas tree was lit as part of the Church Street Holiday Stroll on Monday, Nov. 26. The menorah was installed on Tuesday, Nov. 28, while the dreidel was installed on Wednesday, Nov. 29. The winter solstice display is expected to be installed on Monday, Dec. 4. Displays will be up through Jan. 10, 2024.

As part of the display, there will be a menorah lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10 on the Town Green.
