It’s Fall and time again for our community family festival. This year’s theme is Celebrating Community Diversity. Enjoy live music, food vendors, and art activities. Entertainment includes Broesler School Irish Step Dancers, Pan Lara Steel Drummers, Panamanian dance troupe Panama Danzas y Ritmos, and performers (from our partner school, Savoy Elementary), the Savoy Players. Art activities include making Japanese kites, Mexican paper flowers, Venetian ball masks, Indian Henna painting, African storytelling and more. There will also be civil war re-enactors from the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment B setting up camp on the grassy picnic area. The 54th was the all-Black union regiment on which the 1989 movie “Glory” was based. We’ll also have information tables from numerous community partners including Martha’s Table, The Textile Museum, Anacostia Watershed Society, Zenful Bites, Creative Junkfood, U.S. Coast Guard, ArtWorks Now, Washington Performing Arts, the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, Howard Theater, The National Museum of the United States Navy, Children’s National Health System, Smithsonian African Art Museum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Cultural Tourism DC, Project Create and others. It’s a fun day for the entire family with activities taking place both outside on the grassy picnic area and inside the museum.
