We had a blast celebrating Mayor Muriel Bowser Presents 202Creates Month! 202Creates doesn't just happen in September, it's a movement and we know the District's Creative Economy will keep the energy alive! From the 202Creates Kick-off to the Labor Day Music Festival and the Straight Crankin' World Premiere to DC Radio's One Year Anniversary, The Mayor's Arts Awards, and finally the 202Creates Closing Event, we are filled with gratitude and thankful for the love and support we've received from the creative community!
Let's continue the season of celebration and recognition! The DC Entertainment Office sends its congrats to the
DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH). In November, CAH will celebrate their 50th Anniversary! As the agency's Interim Director, I'm excited to celebrate this immense milestone with the Agency and the CAH Board of Commissioners.
This month, we are also also excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
National Hispanic Heritage Month is from September 15 to October 15 in the United States. This is a time when we come together and celebrate the contributions, heritage, and culture of Hispanic and Latino Americans. To celebrate, we're saluting our 96.3HD4 DC Radio hosts
