Family Activities

Nearly all Washington Revels events are family-friendly, free, and open to the public. Our seasonal celebrations, filled with music, dance, and storytelling from multiple cultures and centuries, offer people of all ages an opportunity to explore, learn, and grow. In the course of a year, we might share African American spirituals, a mummers’ play from medieval England, rollicking tunes from Ireland, and the hauntingly beautiful music of Andalusian Spain, providing our audiences a chance to revisit well-loved traditions or encounter something entirely new to them.

And the creativity continues as long as it’s shared across generations. At Washington Revels, there’s a place for everyone, from the toddler riding along in a stroller as we march in a Fourth of July parade to the great-grandparent stepping up to play a tune or lead a chorus at a concert or pub sing. We invite people at all stages of life’s journey to join in the reveling. We invite everyone to take joy!
