September 13, 2024
September in the District is in full swing: Students are back in school — and don't forget the DCPS Back to School Block Party tomorrow. 202Creates is underway, and Theatre Week and Dine All Night are just around the corner, as is H Street Festival.
This week, we welcomed leaders, advocates, and activists from across the country to strategize, connect, and amplify Black voices at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference. I say frequently that people come to DC to change the world, and each year, CBC Week is a reminder of just how true that is.
On Sunday, we will kick off Hispanic Heritage Month with the 4th Annual Mi Pequeño El Salvador Festival, a celebration of culture, food, and community. Later in the month, join us for Fiesta DC, the nation’s largest Latino Festival. These events — and many more — will honor the rich traditions, achievements, and lasting impact of Latino communities in DC.
 This week, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with members of my Administration — Somos Washington, DC!
All of these events are celebrations of our DC values — the people, neighborhoods, and ideas that keep DC the most important city in the world — and I'm grateful for all the people working together to highlight the best of DC.
See you around the city this month!
Sincerely,
