I swear, when I first moved to DC, I went to the Adams Morgan Day Festival along with some friends and we… got… blotto – mainly because the bars allowed us to walk out with beer in plastic cups. I think. I don’t really remember much. I think there was a lot of food too.
Obviously, open container laws being what they are – the street festival is more subdued these days, but it’s still a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the city. Stages are set up at various points (the two biggest are at the intersections of 18th & Columbia and at 18th & Florida) with musicians and various performances all day long. Go, grab some Carribbean food, stroll through the art vendors on Belmont and then park yourself at the stage of your choice to take in some bluegrass, reggae, venezuelan drumming, hip hop, chinese dragon dancing and Brazilian martial arts. Myself, I can’t resist the Japanese Komodo dance troupe. Hai!
The Adams Morgan Day Festival, Sunday, September 10 from noon to 7 p.m.
