This summer, The Parks at Walter Reed is coming alive.
The walkable urban neighborhood, once a military medical campus, in Northwest D.C. is hosting dozens of events on its historic Great Lawn, a six-acre green space with a natural amphitheater shape.
Stop by for live theater, film showings, fitness classes, festivals, markets, kids’ performances and more. Plus, you’ll soon find a brand-new dog park and public playground (opening Aug. 1 with celebratory popsicles at 4:30 p.m.!).
A few upcoming highlights worth adding to your calendar include:
- Jazz in The Parks, Aug. 1, Aug. 21 and Sept. 18
Children’s performers take the stage at 5:30 p.m. with the headliner following at 6 p.m. Bring a picnic, blanket and drinks, and grab food at your favorite food trucks. - FRESHFARM Market, Aug. 1 to Oct. 17
Stop by each Sunday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to stock up on fresh produce and local goods. - Movies on the Lawn, Aug. 21, Sept. 11 and Oct. 2
Bring chairs, picnics and popcorn (blankets provided!). The family-friendly lineup kicks off with “Get On Up” on Aug. 21. - Down in the Reeds, Oct. 9
This music festival has a full line-up and is complete with local brews, artisanal vendors and more.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
