DC History Center Holiday Gathering

Lift your spirits among friends, family, and neighbors at the DC History Center’s annual holiday gathering—a joyful evening of community building through song and local flavor!
Light bites are provided by local restaurants, inspired by the iconic flavors of DC, and drinks are on us (just remember your ID)! Attendees are invited to join for a community sing, led by acclaimed musician and local educator Ocie S. Banks. Whether you’re a shower singer or already part of a choir, it’s time to sing along! The music will be a mix of holiday favorites and protest songs inspired by the changemakers and spirit of activism in the nation’s capital.
Come share the warmth, rhythm, and history that make DC shine.
