I’m still trying to get acquainted with DC and all its neighborhoods. So much to see – why are weekends only two days long? I decided to experience Adams Morgan by way of its annual festival celebrating diversity and creativity. It didn’t disappoint. Plenty of street vendors were on hand selling everything from jewelry to handmade scarves to stained glass creations.
Supposedly there was live jazz music in a nearby park, but I ran out of time before I found it. I did however find a rap concert at one end of the festival. And at the other, a dance troupe (originally from Ghana) performed native dances to the beat of live drummers. It was pretty amazing.
I caught up with some of my fellow interns at the festival, and we agreed – Adams Morgan is probably one of the best neighborhoods in the city.
