The 18th Annual Festival of Lights is coming back to the Westside!

Join us and the Historic Westside Cultural Arts Council on Saturday, October 10, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 870 Proctor Street NW for a free day celebrating wellness and community. Expect free food and treats, a kids and youth carnival, a health fair with local nonprofits, live entertainment and a dance contest, plus a trail ride and line dancing with DJ "Shawty" White. At 2 p.m., Mausiki Scales & the Common Ground Collective take the stage, with America's Songbird Myrna Clayton also featured. Westside Future Fund is proud to support this longtime neighborhood tradition. Bring the whole family, and we'll see you there!
