Every summer field guide for Vienna starts on Church Street. That instinct made sense when the Freeman Store and the Town Green did most of the social work in this town. It makes less sense in 2026. The center of gravity for what's actually new in Vienna has slid a block south, onto Maple Avenue, and the shift is worth understanding before you plan the next three months of weekend nights.
Church Street still runs the calendar. Maple Avenue is running the menu. Once you see the split, the summer plans itself.
