The 12th Annual Adams Morgan Apple Pie Baking Contest and the 17th Annual Licking Creek Bend Farm Heirloom Apple Tasting return to Adams Morgan on Saturday, October 18, 2025. This beloved fall tradition takes place on the front steps of The LINE DC Hotel and directly across from the Adams Morgan Farmers’ Market in Unity Park (Euclid & Champlain Streets NW).

Each year, the festival draws hundreds of neighbors and visitors to celebrate heirloom apples, the art of baking the perfect pie, and the spirit of community in one of DC’s most iconic neighborhoods.

  • Heirloom Apple Tasting presented by Licking Creek Bend Farm, featuring unique apple varieties rarely found in grocery stores.

  • Pie Sales for a Cause: Contestants bake three pies: one for the judges and two for sale by the slice ($6 each). All proceeds benefit Sitar Arts Center, a neighborhood nonprofit providing transformative arts education and opportunities for young people.

The Apple Festival is more than a celebration of the season, it’s a fundraiser and a community-builder that keeps our neighborhood vibrant and safe. Last year’s event raised critical funds for local nonprofits, and 2025 continues that tradition with all proceeds supporting the Sitar Arts Center.

Serving D.C. and Virginia, Simply Management is owned and operated by Hannah Juricic, who leases and manages almost one hundred and fifty units across the city and over the river. These properties are managed only by Hannah and her assistant.

Property management can be simple: list your home, secure an applicant, sign a lease, handle the move in, collect the rent, and handle maintenance issues as they come up.

The stress is in the details.

D.C. has some of the strictest regulations surrounding rental properties, and these regulations and laws can affect a decision to sell. Apart from the regulations, property management itself takes time, attention, and experience — that’s why we do it as a full-time job.

Simply Management handles the management process from start to finish. From the initial consultation walkthrough and overview of services through the move in, lease renewals, and property maintenance, our fees our competitive and our service to both landlords and tenants is unmatched.

Our success can be attributed to a few straightforward factors:

  • We keep a small client base so that we can provide excellent response times and give each property quality support
  • We partner with quality contractors with work guarantees
  • We educate and support residents so that they are incentivized and empowered to keep the property in excellent condition

Contact us ([email protected]) today for more information. Whether you are just starting on your landlord journey or have experience, we’re happy to discuss whether we’re the right fit!

Tudor Lights: Disco Christmas

Who says you can’t combine history and holidays? Tudor Place is a historic house and garden that captures nearly 200 years of continued ownership. 

As each generational landlord assumed ownership of the home, they brought their personal style along with cultural influences of the day, of items they bought, sold, and used in their daily life. All those “things” now make up an 18,000 piece collection. They weren’t hoarders, but pack-rats of the 19th century for sure. Let’s say they saved a lot. Much of this you can see by taking a guided tour Tuesday – Sunday.

Every December, Tudor Place capitalizes on this unique storehouse of treasures by combining objects that are rarely displayed at Tudor Lights, a holiday event which creatively shows how history mixed with holiday can be sheer fun. This year, guests will travel back to the 1970s and witness the blending of historical elegance and pop culture as the house is adorned with dazzling disco balls. Discover how the District emerged as an epicenter for disco culture. View rarely displayed objects and ephemera that foretell the iconic fashion trends of the era. Stroll through the garden, then sip, savor and socialize with a classic Tom Collins or Harvey Wallbanger and some groovy hors d’oeuvres. Bell-bottoms optional; wear if you dare.

Tickets required. Tudor Lights: Disco Christmas on December 12 at 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Secure your spot now and buy tickets.

Since Edmund Burke School’s founding in 1968, active engagement and inquiry have been essential to the experience.

Simply, this is a place to be multifaceted. A place to try new things and meet new people. And a place where students are creative, kind, diverse, and perceptive, with a penchant for exploration.

At Burke, experienced musicians can play basketball and longtime softball players can delve into ceramics. Opportunities are vast and varied here — and everyone can access the full range of Burke’s offerings. Students aren’t competing for spots just to do what they enjoy.

A city school is an optimal starting point for exploration. From field work in Rock Creek Park during 6th grade Science to monthly museum and gallery ventures in 12th grade Art History, classes draw upon the District’s vast resources. The metro-adjacent campus on Connecticut Avenue enables substantial independence for students — including an “open campus” starting in 9th grade.

Advanced coursework also enables deep exploration. Computer science enthusiasts can delve into Robotics, AI, and Game Development electives, while math-inclined students can access AP Calculus BC, Multivariable, and Advanced Statistics. History electives span Constitutional Law, Modern Revolutions, and US Music Since 1945; the Senior Seminar program supports in-depth research into Economic Development and Democracy & Freedom, among other topics.

To start exploring, attend an Open House this Saturday, October 19.

Family tours during the school day are also available throughout October and November. Learn more at burkeschool.org/visit.
