farmers market

Volta Park is full of good news and fun events this month. Perhaps you have been to the playground or the pool nestled in the quaint streets of Georgetown at 1555 34th St NW. With summer wrapping up, there is a lot to look forward to this Fall from a new farmers market to an annual fall festival; all perfect for families to enjoy.

Volta Park Market is a farmers market that will offer locally sourced produce and prepared foods, from independent growers and small businesses. The 2021 inaugural season will run from September 10th – December 17th every Friday afternoon from 3:00pm – 6:00 pm. Head to the market and grab dinner with a cold lemonade then enjoy the playground. Or invite a few friends to play basketball or tennis while enjoying a few tasty snacks from the market. Whatever you are craving on Friday, Volta Park Market has you covered.

Volta Park Fall Festival is BACK! Save the date: October 2nd 11:00am to 2:00pm. Bring your family and friends (and a blanket, if you would like to picnic in the park) to enjoy live music, food, carnival games, a bounce house, face painting and more.

We’ve found some awesome events sure to make you and your child happy for the weekend. But, we’re not sure how you will choose where you will go as there are so many fun things to do. Would love to hear where you’re going or if you’ve been to any of the listed venues, please post a comment and let others know!

Saturday~
10:00am- (Chevy Chase, DC) Join The Great Zucchini and his wacky facial expressions at The Avalon Theatre. He will be joined by Barry the Magician for his Barry’s final show (he is retiring) as they entertain everyone with their magic show. You can purchase tickets here– tickets will sell out so act quick. I can attest that The Great Zucchini captures children’s attention almost instantly, your kid will love it. Go a few more miles into DC and stop at the zoo to see Bao Bao, the panda bear after the show.

10:00am-11:00am- (Adams Morgan) Family Fiesta at El Tamarindo hosts all of your children’s favorite musicians in one spot! John Henry the Guitar Man, Marsha Goodman-Wood, The Singing Lizard, The Uncle Devin Show AND !Uno, Dos, Tres Con Andres!
