MARK YOUR CALENDAR: 2021 H Street Festival

Mark your calendars for the 16th annual H Street Festival. H Street Festival is one of the most anticipated and highly attended single day festivals in Washington D.C. The festival is eleven blocks long and has fourteen staging areas that are diversely themed and programmed to target the different segments of audiences. The staging areas feature music of different genres, dance, youth based performances, interactive children’s program, fashion, heritage arts, poetry, and much more. The festival started as a five hundred participant bloc party more than twelve years ago, it has now grown into a 150,000 participant event. The change is immense and the impact is lasting. By using the arts as a principle motivator of the festival, it has proven the arts can be a valuable agent in impacting economic growth. H Street Festival has successfully utilized arts as an engine for the growth for the historic neighborhood. There will be activity stations that focus on participatory artwork, informational stations that promote arts education, and exhibitor stations that showcase D.C. based artists.
