Around Town DC: Event Directory
upcoming Special events
Join the DC Department of Aging and Community Living in the Palisades 4th of July Parade! Ride in one of DACL’s two convertible Sprinters and take part in this beloved community tradition.
Come to Iona for open play American Mah Jongg! This is not an instructional class, but a space intended for beginners who know the basics of the game. However, players with more experience are also welcome.
If you’ve ever asked yourself...“What am I going to do with all this stuff?” you’re going to love Decluttering Step-By-Step!
This hour-long program is a casual and welcoming space to explore journaling with others. We start with a short meditation to relax and settle in, then write for about 20-25 minutes. Optional prompts are provided each week for inspiration, but this time is yours to write (or draw, doodle, list, sit) in whatever way feels good to you.
Welcome to From Around Town to Around the World — a monthly journey exploring destinations across the globe!
Join us in a non-judgmental space where people of all backgrounds can discuss death and dying—one of our biggest conversational taboos.
In this virtual film salon, we come together on Zoom to watch timeless cinema classics, followed by lively and thought-provoking discussions. Each film sparks emotions, explores deep themes, and reveals layers of meaning—sometimes hilarious, sometimes dramatic, always captivating. With over a hundred films behind us, every screening offers a fresh idea or a striking image that lingers in our hearts and minds.
Get your steps in with a morning walk around Tenleytown!
