Kennedy Center Open House THIS Saturday, September 12th at 1:15 PM.
We walk among spectacular performers every day. They entertain on street corners, sidewalks, subway platforms, and improvised stages across the globe. All they ask is that we stop, watch, and appreciate their art. The Kennedy Center Open House presents boulevard entertainers from France, Canada, Australia, and the D.C. area as part of the Washington D.C. Street Performance Festival in conjuction with the French-American Cultural Foundation. Meet characters large and small, from the Unicycle Lady™ on her six-foot-tall one-wheeled ride to the tiny Alberti Flea Circus. Plus there's lots more music and fun! Bounce to the Afrofunk of Chopteeth or rock out to Mambo Sauce, PT Walkley, and DJ Lunch Money while constructing a cardboard-box skyline with We Built This City. Then sit and watch L'Arsenal à Musique's wild interpretation of the Carnival of the Animals with the National Symphony Orchestra. Discover a world of performance art that's lit by both spotlights and stoplights.
Meet up at 1:15 on the North Plaza of the Kennedy Center (call Jennifer Fox if you can't find the group 571-215-2880 - if you're really late please text) There are multiple performances going on all over the Kennedy Center so your best bet is to show up on time and break into groups depending on what performances you'd like to see.

After this I'm heading to Urban Artistry for breakdancing on the front plaza at 2:15. You can stay as long as you like but I'll probably end my evening at Bio Ritmo - a salsa band in the Theater Lab dance hall from 5:00-5:45.
