Friday, evening, I attended the International Children's Festival Gala at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. The reception began at 7 p.m. followed by a special international dinner and show at 8 p.m. which features entertainment throughout the evening by the international student performing groups from India, Mexico, Nigeria and Georgia, dressed in elaborate and colorful costume.
Beside the excellent performance, before staring each appetizer, entree and dessert serving sections, the youth dancers announced the names of the food both in English and the native language. http://www.artsfairfax.org
I walked in downtown DC whole day Saturday to enjoy Arts on Foot Festival with Penn Quarter's music, theater and dance groups show off all they have to offer in this annual festival. Painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media from 75 artists were available at the Art Market, house specialties from local restaurants like Butterfield 9, Chef Geoff's and The Capital Grille were available for sampling at $1. I also attended 1-hr impromptu acting class. http://www.artsonfoot.org/map.htm
Accidentally, I saw many tour buses parked around the MCI center and then picked up free tickets for Spirit of America, a live-action musical performance “that brings America's history to life” and enjoyed the show Saturday evening. I am glad that I enjoyed the show paid by my tax $.
