“Adams Morgan Day, the DC area’s longest-running and most talked about multicultural festival, returns for its 46th year. Always held the second Sunday in September, the Adams Morgan Day Festival organizers are returning with a family-friendly, fun, free event. Some highlights of The Adams Morgan Day Festival include a performance by the legendary “Blackbyrds”, hosted by renowned screenwriter and director Topper Carew, the creator of “Martin”, the return of our Community History on 18th Street, Marie Reed School.

Exploring local and international cultures, a unique collection of acts, specialty vendors, our music stage, dance platform and children’s fair will also be featured. Festival Director Cheryl Cee-Cee Hardy says “It’s a day when all cultures unite celebrating and embracing the vitality and uniqueness of the community.” (more…)
