SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2026
For 48 years, Adams Morgan Day has been a family-friendly celebration with music, art and activities for all ages. Adams Morgan Day is planned entirely by volunteers, and is Washington, DC’s longest-running neighborhood festival. Adams Morgan itself has long been known for its multicultural character and reflects that richness through live performances, artisan vendors, global cuisine, and interactive experiences that invite everyone to participate. We welcome residents and visitors alike to meet our neighborhood businesses, artists, and service organizations.
TEAM 250-48
Team 250-48 is diligently planning an unforgettable Adams Morgan Day Festival. This year is especially significant as we celebrate 250 years of America’s history while also honoring 48 years of the Adams Morgan Day Festival.
As we prepare for this milestone celebration, our team is committed to creating a festival that showcases the rich culture, music, art, food, and diversity that make Adams Morgan such a vibrant community. Together, the 250-year cultural tribute and the 48-year festival legacy tell a deeper story: a story of resilience, unity, creativity, and community. Adams Morgan Day is more than just a festival-it is a celebration of history in motion, where the past meets the present and culture continues to evolve, inspire, and bring people together. We look forward to bringing neighbors, visitors, businesses, and volunteers together for a memorable day celebrating both our nation’s heritage and the enduring spirit of Adams Morgan.
