Notable Elements
Local residents were invited to bring their own dinner to THEARC, which we enhanced with tastes of dishes made from produce grown in the six community gardens.
Washington Performing Arts curated a full schedule of entertainment, from gifted youth strings performers to a large group of African drummers and dancers. Guests enjoyed s’mores roasted over a fire pit as the sun set.
" The Side Lobby was instrumental in laying the foundation for the 11th Street Bridge Park's programs including the Anacostia River Festival and Taste of the Harvest. Sarah's dedication to the neighborhoods surrounding the future Bridge Park and thoughtfulness in planning were incredibly important for our new programs. "
