On Saturday, June 18, come join your neighbors in for the 14th Annual Columbia Heights Day!
After a few years hiatus, District Bridges is bringing back this beloved community festival. Rather than a street closure, there will be four activation zones throughout the neighborhood, each celebrating a unique element of Columbia Heights.
At each zone, neighbors can enjoy local food and vendors, live music, and family friendly entertainment. In addition to the zones, neighborhood businesses will be activating right outside their storefronts.
“Our goal for this festival is to celebrate all Columbia Heights has to offer with fun, engaging activities throughout the entire neighborhood on June 18th”, says Brianne Dornbush, Executive Director of District Bridges. “For the last few years, supporting our communities has looked like staying home and connecting virtually to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe through the pandemic. But now, as we are able to start gathering in person again, we are thrilled to be able to create events like Columbia Heights Day where residents and visitors can meet and connect once again.”
The 2022 Columbia Heights Day Festival will be held from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 18 and is sponsored by Amazon, Eddie Suarez, Helbiz, Bird, and District Church (as of May, 13).
The four activations zones include: Harriet Tubman Elementary School Field at 11th and Kenyon Street, the Columbia Heights Civic Plaza at 14th and Park Road, the corner of 14th and Spring Road, and the Park at Girard and 14th Street.
