In July 2021, Events DC hosted its annual Community Grant Program luncheon recognizing 44 District non-profit grant awardees from FY20 and FY21 with total annual grant awards of $100,000 and $250,000, respectively. The joint celebration was as result of postponing the 2020 luncheon because of COVID-19.

Over 2,700 people joined together at the Fields at RFK to celebrate the inaugural Day of Play at RFK. The day featured fun for all ages to engage in. The event had team games like kickball, dodgeball, family football, horseback riding, rock climbing, and much more. Day of Play featured community partners such as DC Fray and CRYSP, activations from DC’s Professional Sports Teams, and partners such as Pepsi and Washington Gas. Events D.C. was happy to see the community participate in this full community event.
