Washington, D.C. Event Calendar

NoMa in Bloom Festival returns to Alethia Tanner Park on Saturday, April 1st, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.! The free National Cherry Blossom official event includes free kite kits for kite-making and flying, live music from DJ Mathia Broohm, an artisan market curated by Neighbors DC, a live chalk mural by Chalk R!ot, delicious food, and more!

A Washington tradition since 1979! Don’t miss this bucket list moment.

Thousands come every year to watch the sun rise over the National Mall during this special Easter celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.

Free and open to all. Dress warmly and bring your sunglasses. (People come to the service in everything from their Easter finest to sweats). We set up a couple thousand chairs, but you can also sit on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or bring a chair/blanket for the lawn.

Come early. Seats fill up fast. There’s ample parking along the Mall at that hour. (The Metro doesn’t open until 7am, so you’ll want to walk, bike, drive, or ride share).

Service begins at 6:30am and runs for about an hour. We’ll be there, rain or shine, and hope to see you there!

The Encore Chorale of DC is pleased to welcome audiences to their free spring concert on April 21 at 7 PM. The local group will usher in the spring with an uplifting mix of songs to light up the warm months. The ensemble, led by celebrated conductor Stephen Harouff, will sing alongside live accompaniment at Church of the Epiphany in DC, 1317 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20005. The venue is conveniently located on the 13th Street exit of the Metro Center along the red, blue, and orange lines.

The Encore Chorale of DC will draw in the warmth of spring with dynamic performances led by celebrated conductor Stephen Harouff, singing choral arrangements of popular songs such as “Blue Skies” (arr. Steve Zegree) and “I See The Light” (arr. Mac Huff, from Disney’s ‘Tangled’) to celebrating friendship through singing with Sarah Quartel’s “All the Way Home.” The group is a member of the nonprofit Encore Creativity for Older Adults, the nation’s largest choral arts organization for adults 55 and older.
