Washington, D.C. Event Calendar

We are excited to invite you to a free webinar and community discussion presented by the premier housing service provider for the unhoused in the DC region, Friendship Place. This event will be held on March 21st at Noon via Zoom and free prior registration is required.

This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of the progress of our LGBTQ+ Work Group and services provided at our Welcome Center by means of our Before 30 Program, including best practices for preventing and addressing homelessness in our LGBTQ+ youth community. We will also discuss our impact, as well as ways to get involved and support our efforts.

We look forward to having you join us!

Our spring concert features Leonard Bernstein’s dynamic Chichester Psalms, as well as settings by Bobby McFerrin, and Herb Mahelona, composer of the first Hawai’ian-language oratorio, Kinohi. Psalms tell stories of hope, anger, sadness, and joy, which you will hear across works from Gwyneth Walker’s Songs of Ecstasy to Bernstein’s raucous setting of “Why do the nations rage.” Join us for this musical journey!

Lights-Out Hour DC is a voluntary event in which individual residents, building managers, and custodians of public monuments dim or extinguish non-essential indoor and outdoor lights for one hour beginning at 8:30pm on March 25, 2023.

Lights-Out Hour DC coincides with international “Earth Hour,” and your participation will draw attention to climate change and the harm that light pollution presents to human health and the environment.

Dozens of cities around the world have observed Earth Hour since 2007. Iconic structures such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Empire State Building, and the Eiffel Tower have gone dark during Earth Hour.

Let us join with cities around the world in a gesture of solidarity by “switching off” for one hour. Please spread the word about Lights-Out Hour DC.

For further information or to volunteer, please contact the D.C. Chapter of the International Dark-Sky Association at [email protected] or through our Facebook page.
