As we roll into September and DC starts to cool down a bit, it's the perfect time to try something new.  Take a study break with Himmelfarb Library's DC Events calendar and try something different!

This month's calendar can definitely show you something different in DC and includes:

  • Sunday Savasana Yoga featuring a different teacher and a different flow each week.
  • The DC State Fair, H Street Festival, Festival Fiesta DC, and the Turkish Festival can introduce you to different aspects of DC, different cultures, and different neighborhoods.
  • The Reach Opening Festival can introduce you to a new way to experience art: with you at the center of the action.
