Kite Festival (National Anthem Performance)
Sylvan Theatre Stage (by Washington Monument), Independence Ave SW and 15th St NW, Washington, DC
I'm honored to have been asked to sing the National Anthem for the opening of the Blossom Kite Festival on the grounds of the Washington Monument. I think I'll be singing from the Sylvan Theatre (outdoor) Stage at 10 AM sharp. Don't forget to bring your kite and feel free to see below for what will be happening at the Kite Festival. If you stick around the Mall area, I'll be performing on the National Cherry Blossom Festival Welcome Stage at noon the same day!
Join us at the Washington Monument Grounds with activities, music, competitions, and performances. Kite enthusiasts, beginners, families, and friends are all welcome.
The 2024 Blossom Kite Festival will feature:
Sakura Taiko Fest at Sylvan Theater, produced by Miyako Taiko, a day-long celebration of dynamic traditional Japanese drumming.
Performances by Not a Saint Band, Ian Carroll, and Guava Jelly. Mr. Mikio Toki, a master of traditional Edo-style kites, who is traveling all the way from Japan to showcase his kites for attendees!
