Our 32nd season kicks off tomorrow at 6:00pm and we are ready to get back on the Green. Before you head out, we have a few quick updates for the year ahead.

To keep the Green safe and comfortable for everyone, we are shifting to beach balls and balloons only. We will be handing out official beach balls at every show, so grab one and join the fun.

If you have questions or need a hand, look for our team in the new, bright neon Event Staff shirts.

We have 10 beverage options ready for you, including Stella Artois Liberté (0.0% ABV). Please have your ID ready, as Virginia law now requires us to card everyone regardless of age.

As you know, we rarely cancel based on a forecast, but if the rain forces our hand, we will post updates to this profile first.

Grab your chairs and your friends. Come on out and help us start the season right!

We are only 3 days away from our 32nd Season Kickoff with Lost In Paris . If you don't have a high quality printed version of our schedule, you can find them in many public places around town including the Herndon Municipal Building and the Herndon Community Center. Or you can order a pizza from The Breeze Restaurant and Sports Bar and that schedule will be right on your box!

Check back tomorrow to find out what's new this year at Friday Night Live!.

05/15/2026

The countdown is officially on. One week from today, we kick off our 32nd season.

Our team has been working so hard to get everything ready for you. We want to give a HUGE shout out our Organizing Committee. This is a group of 12 community members who spend all year planning these summer seasons. Most of them have been volunteering with us for decades.

Equipment has been fixed, shelves have been built, and things have been powerwashed. The energy is already high after we saw over 60 volunteers show up for orientation this past Wednesday.

Who is ready for that first drum beat at 6:30pm on Friday, May 22?

05/13/2026

Did you know that the Herndon Veterans Memorial on the Town Green is a half-size replica of the original Herndon Monument located at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD?

You can NOT scale our obelisk but you can check it out at our 32nd Season Kickoff with Lost In Paris on May 22. And if you want to learn more Herndon History, be sure to follow the Herndon Historical Society.

[Contest Alert]
Score an Exclusive Friday Night Live T-Shirt

Volunteering for 5 nights is usually the only way to get your hands on a Friday Night Live! t-shirt, but we are doing things a little differently for our 32nd season. We wanted to make sure we looked after our friends who can never make it to the Green on Friday nights.

We printed a limited run of 32 shirts (see invoice) for the bartenders at our partner restaurants, Jimmy's Old Town Tavern and The Breeze Restaurant and Sports Bar. Since they are always working during our events, they don't have the opportunity to volunteer for the merch they’ve been asking for, so we brought the merch to them.

And now you have a rare chance to win one of these shirts for yourself. We are giving away 2 shirts here on Facebook. Want to double your chances? Head over to our Instagram profile to enter there as well.

What you need to do:

- Follow us - why wouldn't you?
- Comment May 22 below - that's when we start.
- Help us get the word out, like and share this post.
- Ensure your entry is on our original Instagram or Facebook contest post.
- Limit one entry per person, per platform. Duplicates will be disqualified.

The contest runs through Monday, May 11th at 8pm ET. We will select winners via a random drawing of all qualified entrants and contact them by direct message on Tuesday, May 12th.

Stop by and see these fabulous bartenders tonight and join us on the Town Green in two weeks for the kickoff to our 32nd season!!!

Thanks Studio One Printing for always delivering a stellar product.
