We're thrilled to welcome District Sounds Festival to The Wharf! On Saturday, April 18, join District Coalition for a one-of-a-kind celebration of community, culture, and live music on the waterfront this spring.

The lineup features DC public school students sharing the stage with international artists, a flamenco vs. tap dance battle, the Carly Harvey Band, and a grand finale with critically acclaimed DC rapper ODDISEE performing alongside an 80-person orchestra. Fuel up with food and drinks from Del Mar and other local vendors. Open to all ages and perfect for a spring day on the water. 

Tickets are coming soon!
