In addition, during the spring and summer months, we have a special steering committee for the Adams Morgan Day Festival Steering Committee. If you would like to volunteers to be part of this committee, please join us. We are currently seeking volunteers for 2008.
Always held on the second Sunday in September, this namesake international cultural festival offers several live music stages, colorful vendors, arts and food galore. This year, we will be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Adams Morgan Day Festival. Adams Morgan Day will include a series of activities and events leading up to the Adams Morgan Day festival on Sunday, September 2008.
The popular and respected Adams Morgan Day festival is now a nationally known event that celebrates international and cultural diversity and creativity — the hallmark of Adams Morgan. The organization and planning of the Festival encompasses all of the Main Street tenets – design, promotions, economic diversification and organization – at a high level. Adams Morgan Main Street Group incorporates all of our committees’ functions in order to execute and produce this nationally recognized event. The Festival produces outstanding marketing, outreach, and public relations opportunities for the corridor and its Partners.
