(upbeat music)
- [Kym] Hello, and welcome to beautiful Fort DuPont Park.
I'm Kym Elder, the Program Manager (NPS logo appears)
of the Civil War Defenses of Washington.
The Civil War Defenses of Washington is administered
by the National Park Service
as a program overseeing the 156-year old remnants
of Civil War fortifications that once encircled
the entire nation's capital, protecting the Union city
against the Confederate army attack.
It is my pleasure to welcome each and every one of you
to the 48th anniversary series
of great music and entertainment
here in beautiful Fort DuPont Park.
While the entire world has been impacted by the coronavirus,
preventing us from gathering together
on the grassy knolls and under the beautiful starlit nights,
we are thrilled to bring you once again
free, family friendly music in the safety of your homes
or wherever you may be on this evening and beyond.
The National Park Service is so excited
to present to you
the 2020 Fort DuPont Park Summer Concert Series'
live, virtual performances.
We hope that you're as excited as we are.
This year's series, as is in previous years,
is sure to be enjoyed by the entire family.
We've got soul, hip hop, gogo, funk, jazz musicians,
along with the sounds of DC's best DJs.
Be sure to share this website shown on your screen,
and tell everyone, that's your neighbors,
your coworkers, your family
that the Fort DuPont Park's free concert series
is scheduled from Saturday, August the 22nd
to Saturday, September the 19th.
That's five Saturdays of free concerts.
Now, where can you find out the show's lineup
for five weeks?
