Reston Station will host Fall-A-Palooza, a fall festival, on Sunday, Oct. 25, from 4 to 7 p.m. at 1900 Reston Metro Plaza.

The afternoon features live music, a petting zoo, a bounce house, seasonal food and harvest-inspired drinks, according to the Reston Station event page.

A live DJ opens the festivities from 4 to 5 p.m. D.C.-area cover band Gonzo's Nose takes the stage from 5 to 7 p.m. The band was formed in 1996 by four College of William and Mary musicians and plays a setlist of more than 260 songs spanning the early 1980s to recent hits. Gonzo's Nose disbanded in January 2017 after more than 1,000 shows but returned for a reunion performance in Leesburg in August, according to an Eventbrite listing for that show.

Kids' activities include glitter tattoos, outdoor games and a photo booth alongside the bounce house and petting zoo.

On the food side, the plaza will offer giant Bavarian pretzels, pies, apple cider donuts, cotton candy and gelato. Drink options include seasonal cocktails, spiked apple cider, hot apple cider and hot chocolate. A "Sip-n-Stroll" feature lets guests walk the plaza with a festive drink in hand, according to FFXnow.

The venue recently moved across the street from its earlier location at 1800 Reston Row Plaza to 1900 Reston Metro Plaza. Reston Station's event directory noted the shift. The plaza sits adjacent to the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station on the Silver Line, giving attendees a car-free option.

Developer Comstock, which built the mixed-use Reston Station district, has organized community gatherings at the plaza throughout 2026, including a celebration of America's 250th anniversary in July.
