This is always a fun celebration. The parade is always my favorite but you gotta get their early to get a good view (though not sure how the Super Bowl will affect the crowd size…)
Chinatown Coffee Co. is taking advantage of the holiday to create a crazy concoction:
From an email:
“Chinatown Coffee Co. will celebrate Chinese New Year on Sunday, February 6th, 2011 from 2pm to close. To ring in the Year of the Rabbit, Chinatown Coffee Co. will feature “The Crazy Rabbit” cocktail, composed of absinthe and champagne. Additionally, the shop will offer its customary bar, coffee, and tea menus.
Chinatown Coffee Co.’s Chinese New Year celebration will be held on the same day as DC’s annual Chinese New Year parade on H Street, NW in Chinatown. The parade is from 2pm to 5pm and will feature a traditional Chinese Dragon Dance, Kung Fu demonstrations, and live musical entertainment.
Chinatown Coffee Co. is located at 475 H Street, NW, on the corner of 5th and H.”
And from MPD:

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!
