Description
*Hosted by the Friends of Peirce Mill
For more than a century, Peirce Mill has been one of DC’s favorite picnic spots. We’re celebrating that long tradition on Thursday evening, September 26, with our first-ever Picnic in the Park, featuring DC’s Queen of the Blues, Carly Harvey.
Carly performed at the Mid-Atlantic Grain Fair last fall, and we’re delighted she’ll be returning to Peirce Mill in September. Carly explores her Native American roots to create a unique blend of traditional Jazz scat and indigenous vocables. Carly and her band will perform a mix of 20th century standards and contemporary songs.
Bring a picnic supper to Peirce Mill, enjoy a free concert, and savor the waning days of summer in Rock Creek Park!
Free public programs at Peirce Mill are supported by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
