VIVA TYSONS MAGAZINE IS THE DEFINITIVE PUBLICATION OF TYSONS CORNER.

We celebrate the areas of McLean, Vienna, Great Falls, Oakton & Falls Church

 How? By providing our readers what they want to know about Tysons Corner through pertinent feature stories on community news and topics of local interest, a selection of area events, interesting neighborhood merchant news, spotlights and guides to local services and amenities, highlights of dining options, shopping ideas, a look at the local arts scene, updates on construction, traffic and development, area real estate trends, announcements from our charities and chambers, motivating columns from our experts on topics like fitness, nutrition,
design, and more.

We bring all of this to you six times a year in a full color glossy magazine you'll want to hold on to. We're not all about advertising, we're about providing the local content that will interest our readers who will then see our selection of spotlighted merchants and service providers in an attractive periodical. We are home-grown and we are locally owned.

Our writers, editors, publishers, designers, and sales staff are part of the community we serve. Our readers love us for the content, our advertisers love us for our demographic. Please browse our web site to see more, guarantee a copy in your mailbox by purchasing a subscription, and if you're a business looking to reach this fabulous market, take a look at our media kit to see how easy it is. As we say, we're local, targeted, and most of all, affordable.

OUR LATEST ISSUE...

Happy New Year!  Here's hoping 2012 is filled with health, wealth and happiness for all. 
 
Our January-February issue includes feature articles about stroke recovery by Allison O'Reilly, a fascinating story about the work of Jon Monet and the students at Cal Poly, and local entrepreneur Heidi Kallett at the Dandelion Patch. 
 
We review day care options, find the best breakfast in town, stay on top of our diets and fitness programs with Cindy and Judy, and talk to master watchmaker Guido Alave at GCA-La Precision in Vienna.
 
We were fortunate to have Chef Bonita's help in finding locally produced foods, read the story of our home town talent Mary Ann Redman and hear about the journey from the board room to the classroom and back by Pat Hynes.  Check out the after school theatre program by Stacey Jones and Stage Presence... great stuff...
 
Please look for us at your favorite stop and watch for our "neighborhood values" opportunity coming soon.

We love hearing from our readers about what's happening in the Tysons area. Let us decide if it is too trivial, it rarely is. Send  information to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
