Neighborhood Festivals!

Neighborhood festivals are one of my favorite things in DC, so I’m pretty happy that the next couple weekends are full of ’em.  Check out the lineup:

  • This Sunday from noon to 7 PM is the Adams Morgan Day Festival, a huge gathering with great ethnic food, good bands, a Dance Plaza, a Pet Zone, and even a Green Pavilion. Come hungry, because there is so much great food to try!
  • Next weekend on Saturday, September 18 from noon to 6 PM, get ready for the H Street Festival, which features a fashion show, outdoor karaoke, and the can’t-miss art car show.  This is a huge festival– over 15,000 people attended last year– so be prepared for crowds.
  • The weekend after that, if you’re still craving a neighborhood festival, head over to the Dupont area for the 17th Street Festival on Saturday, September 25 from noon to 6 PM.  This newcomer to the neighborhood festival scene will feature an auction tent (with great items like theater tickets and dog walking services up for grabs), musical performances, and a kids zone.

Still want more neighborhood festivals?  Head over to TBD’s roundup of all the area fairs and festivals coming up this fall.
