The free public events are an annual celebration that brings together Washington metropolitan area residents and communities across generations to enjoy incredible music from national, regional and local artists to perform live in the park’s outdoor amphitheater. The National Park Service continues to honor the series’ tradition, bringing together neighbors, families, and organizations together for the culture, for the community, for the connection.
