May 3 (11 a.m.) – Celebrate the Spring at Glen Echo Park

Join Washington Revels as we chase away Winter and celebrate the seasonal re-opening of the 102-year-old Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo Park Partnership’s annual Carousel Day!

At the start of the event, we will provide a festive musical procession throughout the park (11:00 a.m.) followed by a performance by Washington Revels Gallery Voices (11:15 a.m. until noon). Following some merry madrigals, you are invited to take part in some joyous dancing around the Maypole.

All are welcome to this free, family-friendly event—performances by many other local artists will take place throughout the day, as well as kids’ arts & crafts, open artist studios & galleries, and much more. And, of course, you are invited to ride the historic carousel.

Later in the day, at 4:00 p.m., we will present a full May Revels performance at the National Cathedral Flower Mart.

Date/Time: May 3, 2025 (Parade at 11:00 a.m.; Gallery Voices at 11:15 a.m.; Maypole at noon)
Tickets: FREE (Tickets only required to ride the Dentzel Carousel)
Location: Glen Echo Park, 7300 MacArthur Blvd., Glen Echo, MD 20812
