Manassas Park families attending this year’s high school graduation will enjoy a more convenient evening ceremony instead of the traditional Saturday morning.
City Manager Carl Cole announced at the May 5 governing body meeting that Manassas Park High School’s graduation has moved to Friday evening, June 5, with shuttle operations centered at the city’s four-story parking garage.
The average single-family home in Manassas Park will pay $7,298 in real estate taxes next year — an increase of $216 — even though the city is lowering its tax rate.
The Manassas Park Governing Body approved maximum “not-to-exceed” tax rates for FY2027 at its May 5 meeting, including a reduction in the real estate tax rate to $1.38 per $100 of assessed value. City Manager Carl Cole explained that rapidly rising property assessments more than offset the rate cut.
The City of Manassas Park Farmers Market kicked off its 2026 season on Saturday, drawing shoppers to fresh local goods and a vibrant community atmosphere in the heart of the small city.
Manassas Park officials unveiled the city’s full 2026 events calendar during the governing body meeting on February 17, featuring dozens of family-friendly activities, a new city run-and-walk event, the debut of a ticketed haunted house, shifted holiday timings, and fireworks on July 2.
