DC Day of Archaeology Festival
Local families are invited to discover the past and learn about the clues under our feet at the DC Day of Archaeology Festival, a free, family-friendly event on June 6 that brings history to life through hands-on activities. Hosted by Archaeology in the Community, this annual festival gathers archaeologists and other heritage-related professionals from across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region to share the stories, science, and the discoveries that shape our understanding of the past. Taking place as part of DC Archaeology Month in June, the festival offers a full day of engaging experiences designed especially for kids and families. This event will be held at Catholic University of America, University Lawn outside the Pryzbyla Center.
