Pop-Up at the Spray Park & Playground
We're kicking off this year's Ward 6 Week by staying cool! Bring the whole family or just swing by to say hi to Charles and our team at the spray park and playground near Eastern Market.
LGBTQ+ Cemetery Tour
Did you know that the Congressional Cemetery in Hill East is believed to be one of the only cemeteries in the world to have an LGBT section? It was first established way back in 1807, and for Ward 6 Week, they're doing a special tour of the section for residents to learn all about it. Fulcrum Residential is generously providing a light reception to follow.
Cake Picnic in the Park
Who doesn't want a little sweetness on a summer afternoon?
We're so excited about this event. Enjoy some delicious cake with your neighbors in the park! It's simple: Sign up to bring a cake of your choosing (bake, buy, or convince a loved one to make one), BYO plate and utensils, and eat your heart out. Thanks to our event partner, Friends of Garfield Park!
Give Back to Your Neighbors
Work alongside DC Central Kitchen staff and our team in SW to help cut, chop, peel, and prep fresh produce that goes into balanced meals for the community. Limited to 25 volunteers.
Two Girls Ward 6 Trivia
Calling all trivia players – weekly goers, knowers of random facts, or people who just like to have fun! We're joining Two Girls Trivia for their weekly night at Union Pub. They'll have a fun Ward 6-themed category just for tonight! Winners get Nats tickets on us.
Explore Some Local History
Join our office at the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum to dive deeper into local DC history. Thanks to their generosity, Ward 6 residents will get free admission during this window to their new, special exhibition "LGBT Jews in the Federal City."
Wine & Words
No reading ahead of time required for this happy hour to chat about your favorite books of the summer. Stop by after work to say hi and share your favorite reads, whether it's what you're taking on a trip, a story you just can't get out of your head, or your favorite local author's latest book. Support your local, indie bookstore, grab a glass of whatever you prefer at the bar, and mingle!
Crafternoon at the Library
Feeling creative? Children ages 3 to 10 are welcome to the second-floor reading room for crafts with Charles and the team. Supplies will be ready for little hands to make something great!
Office Hours, DC Music Edition
Check out Eastern Market's newest record store, Spin Time Records, browse and listen to specially-curated DC tunes (go-go and reggae fans, looking at you), and say hi to Charles. Note that the shop is on the second floor, which requires being able to walk up one flight of stairs.
Meet DC United
We're so excited to be able to offer this event during Ward 6 Week. Get a special tour of where our local soccer/UFL teams play, AND meet some of the DC United team! Spaces are limited, and spots will be raffled off.
Deadline to enter the raffle: Friday, July 25
