This acclaimed outdoor venue offers more than 50 retail shops, 30 restaurants, a 13-screen Multiplex Cinema and the Hyatt Regency Reston Hotel.

Across Market Street from the Mercury Fountain, a barrel-vaulted glass roofed Pavilion was built in 1993 over an ice skating rink used during winter months. For the rest of the year it is a large, open air building for concerts, festivals, seasonal celebrations, and children's events.
