The default tab shows Holiday Hours for our facilities. If you would like information on the status of classes for each facility, please click on the “Holiday Class Schedule” tab at the top. If a day is not listed on a chart, then facilities and/or classes are operating under a normal schedule. This schedule may not reflect last-minute changes or cancellations; please call the facility directly to learn of any schedule updates.

Will your class be held on a holiday?

Classes are held at Rec Centers, nature centers, historic sites, horticultural centers, farms, Fairfax County Public Schools, administrative buildings and private business facilities. Not all facilities are available for classes on holidays. Your instructor should tell you about your class's schedule. Click on a holiday and use the reference table shown as a guide.

* Schedule may be modified.

♦ During holidays and school breaks, please check with your instructor for changes to the schedule listed above. 

♦ Drop-in Group Exercise classes are modified monthly. Check the site calendar for limited class offerings or activities on holidays.

♦ Classes scheduled to meet only one time on a holiday will meet as scheduled.
♦ Cub Run Rec Center does not hold swim classes on days when FCPS does not hold classes.  Cub Run Aqua Ex classes are held as scheduled.
