48th Celebrating Family Community Festival at the Anacostia Community Museum
Rain did not stop over 600 people from attending the Anacostia Community Museum’s Fall Family Day on September 12, 2015. This year’s theme was Celebrating Cultural Diversity. To that end, we found stilt-walkers, Irish dancers, steel drum players, African story tellers and Panamanian folk dancers mingling, dancing, performing, and playing together as you can see below.

Polleras were swinging in the Anacostia Community Museum program room where a traditional Panamanian Dance group, Danzas y Ritmos captivated the audience.

Members of the Massachusetts 54th Voluntary Infantry Regiment B were on hand to provide some context to the exhibit Washington during the Civil War.
