Fort Dupont Summer Concert Series 2011


The 2011 Fort Dupont Summer line up is here!  It's really too bad that Roy Ayers has not been featured in recent years.  He was the one who everybody wanted to see at the end of the summer series.  His cd, Mahogany Vibe, features a song named after the park.  The song has a nice groove and a Go-Go vibe that is popular in the DC area.  Anyway, I hope to see you at the park this summer. 


Come DC, VA, Baltimore, Delware, everywhere!

Although, Seattle has some cool festivals, DC really had it going. I remember my first Kuumba fest and always enjoyed Adams Morgan Day.

Happy Friday!
