Historic Downtown Manassas sure is beautiful when it snows!

The Visitor Center is open today (1/7/25), but for those who are not able to make it out... that gives you time to secure your SOUPer Bowl tickets, or to purchase a Heartbeat gift card which many participating shops in town accept. Links below 😊

While our City works diligently to clear roadways and public spaces after a snowfall, we kindly remind owners and occupants that ensuring safety on sidewalks in front of their properties is a shared responsibility. Let's all contribute to keeping our community safe and accessible!

Please refer to code section 102.7 for more information: https://bit.ly/3O2C3XS

Thank you and stay safe! ❄️⛄

The Snow Emergency is still in effect and we should be getting another couple of inches of snow by tonight.

We've not posted our Happy New Year post today, as it didn't seem appropriate with the horrible event that happened and affected so many in New Orleans. It's heartless that such hate exists in this world. On the flip side, it's important we also remember all the many wonderful individuals who make Historic Downtown Manassas what it is - a very special place to be. As we kick off this new year, remember those affected in New Orleans, keep them in your thoughts/prayer/vibes - and remember to be thankful for our wonderful Manassas as we kick off 2025. Be kind, and stay Manassas. ❤
