From a media advisory:
“WHAT: The Hirshhorn Museum celebrates a milestone in October 2024: its 50th birthday. Fifty is too big a birthday for one day, or just one cake, so the Museum is partnering with four fine bakeries: Rose Avenue Bakery; Founding Farmers, Fishers, Bakers; Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken and Just Fine Donuts to celebrate the “concrete doughnut” on the National Mall. Between Thursday Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 6, one fine bakery will provide 50 free donuts to be distributed at 10 am in our lobby, one per person, until all have been shared.
