Week Of: July 9 - 15, 2018
Summary: Capital Fringe Festival is ON!
The Capital Fringe Festival has begun in DC and offers so much mind-blowing artistry in so many forms. Check out the full schedule where you can see some of the musical offerings broken out. This is such a special event in DC, where their focus is on, "expanding audiences appetites for independent, Fringe theatre, music, art, dance and unclassifiable forms of live performance and visual art." It runs from July 7-29 so you have ample time to catch something during these long summer days. Check it out!
And Tedeschi Trucks Band joined by Drive-By-Truckers and The Marcus King Band are in for their Wheels of Soul 2018 tour at Wolf Trap this summer, one of our favorite shows to see.
