Events DCis excited to announce the launch of Walking Town's 25th year, a nine-day event running from September 14-22 that highlights Washington, DC's rich history, culture and art. This annual event offers an array of guided tours across the city's eight wards, providing a unique opportunity for residents and visitors to explore the many historic hidden gems of the nation's capital.

"Walking Town offers an immersive way to connect with Washington, DC's heritage and has become a cornerstone event in our city," said Events DC President and CEO Angie Gates. "As we celebrate 25 years, we are more committed than ever to showcasing the diverse stories that make our city unique and invite everyone - from longtime residents to weekend visitors - to explore our city's past, present and future."

This year's festivities include limited Summer Tours leading up to the main event, beginning on September 14 and concluding with a closing reception on September 22, honoring the contributions of tour guides, volunteers and participants.

"Twenty-five years is a big deal - and while the tours and world around us have changed in many ways throughout that time, the dedication and passion of our volunteers, guides and everyone responsible for making Walking Town happen has remained consistent," said Dania Jolley, Deputy Chief of Staff and Cultural Affairs for Events DC. "This is something we take a lot of pride in, and it means a lot that the community feels the same way. We're excited to bring them something a little extra on this 25th anniversary version."
