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'll be singing on the stage at the Competition/Demonstration Field 10:05 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 Tidal Basin Welcome Area ANA 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.

Sakura Taiko Fest at Sylvan Theater, produced by Miyako Taiko, a day-long celebration of dynamic traditional Japanese drumming.
