Every year I look forward to the concert series at Fort Dupont Park in Washington, D.C. It has become widely popular and it tends to be very crowded. However, there is nothing like the visual of a huge crowd [mostly African American] of people from the DMV getting together to celebrate music from the soul. It is really a celebration and expression of culture -- American culture. This years promises to be a nice one. I hope to see you there this summer. Concerts are free and opened to the public.
Note: Shows are every Saturday as indicated below and usually start around 8:00 pm; however, get there before the time because places on the lawn fill up fast. This is especially true in front of the stage.
