Seasonal programming celebrates the spirit of giving, togetherness, and community pride
Today, Events DC, the official convention and sports authority of Washington, DC, announces Fall into Fun in the District, a new season-long lineup of free community events taking place across the city from October 2025 through February 2026. This festive campaign will feature a wide variety of cultural programming, from art tours and game nights to Halloween fun and holiday celebrations, all designed to bring together residents and visitors in the spirit of joy and community.
