Get Out! You can enjoy 3 different festivals this weekend (if you time it right)

by Peggy Robin

The "Get Out!" column highlights one event of the week but this week there were too many great choices to pick only one, so we're giving you THREE for the price of one.

~~~~~~~~~

On Sunday, September 8 it's ADAMS MORGAN DAY - DC’s longest-running street festival!

There are too many activities and festivities for me to list them here. Just go to https://www.admoday.com/  for the multi-page website with all the details - or go right to schedule at https://www.admoday.com/event-schedule-2023/ (yes, the URL says 2023 but when you get there you will see it's for 2024).

Also on Sunday, it's the Takoma Park Folk Festival!

Join us! The Takoma Park Folk Festival will be September 8, 2024 from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm. 

The extremely full schedule is here: https://www.tpff.org/schedule (also in a printable PDF)
