Rain Check, Same Celebration: Alexandria’s Ethiopian Fall Festival Moves to Sunday
Rescheduled celebration brings Ethiopian food, live music, dance and family activities to Chinquapin Park on Sunday, Oct. 18.
The sixth annual festival will now take place Sunday, Oct. 18, from 1 to 7 p.m. at Chinquapin Park, 3210 King St.
Organizers with the Ethiopian Community Support and Advocacy Center say tickets purchased for Oct. 11 will be honored automatically. Anyone unable to attend the new date can request a refund by emailing [email protected].
The festival will feature Ethiopian food, live music, traditional and contemporary dance, cultural exhibits, youth performances and family activities. Tickets are listed at $10.
ECSAC says net proceeds support its youth-development, education, cultural and family programs, which serve more than 3,000 people annually across the Washington region.
The date change makes an early reminder particularly important for residents who may still have the original date saved.
