For the 47th time since 1978, thousands of people packed Adams Morgan for D.C.鈥檚 longest-running neighborhood street festival.
Festival director Cheryl Hardy told 草莓传媒 that she was expecting 50,000 people to attend .
“It’s a haven for togetherness, it’s a haven for diversity, and it’s a haven just to have a great time in the neighborhood,鈥� Hardy said.
Along with a dance stage, there were three stages of live music, including a reggae stage.
鈥淲e haven’t had one since 1985, so that’s a pretty hot area,” she said.
Like most festivals, artisans and vendors were selling items at tables and booths, including the Marie Reed Bilingual Elementary School.
Nine-year-old William Kane said his school鈥檚 bake sale was raising money for school supplies, books, and field trips.
The fifth grader said they had a wide selection of tasty treats.
鈥淲e have brownies, cookies, lemonade, pink lemonade, pumpkin muffins, all sorts of stuff,鈥� Kane said.
While there were many attending the festival for the first time, there were also those who have made Adams Morgan Day a yearly tradition.
“I was born and raised in the District of Columbia, so I have been coming to this thing long before I was associated with the court,鈥� said Milton C. Lee Jr., the chief judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
鈥淵ou’re going to see a cross section of the city come together,鈥� Lee said. 鈥淚t’s not going to be about anything other than people just having a good time on a sunny Sunday afternoon.鈥�
