Fair Oaks Mall Walk

Join our Fairfax and Ovation Communities and OSG Peers for a visit to the The Fair Oaks Mall!

To prepare: Food/drink: We highly encourage bringing a water bottle and a snack but if you like there are plenty of food and beverage options at the mall just be sure to bring a form of payment.

Meet up: We will meet inside near the Fair Oaks Mall entrance infront of the Children’s Science Lab at 10am and enjoy a walk around the mall together. Look for the parking area near Mezah.

Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event. 

Contact: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the OSG Events WhatsApp group to receive important event updates.

Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line “Accommodation Request.” 

Disclaimer: Please Note during community outings, participants may choose as a group—or individually—to stop at a café, restaurant, or other business for a snack or beverage. These stops are informal, optional, and decided in the moment based on the group’s interests. Purchasing food or drinks is never required, and OSG staff cannot predict or control when or where these stops may occur. Participants with food allergies, dietary restrictions, or other related needs should plan accordingly and bring any necessary snacks, medications, or supports.

*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
