Background on the event
Celebrate Petworth is a street festival started in 2014 by a group of community organizers who wanted to celebrate their neighborhood. The festival shows off the neighborhood’s creativity, diversity, culture, people, and quality of life: the core components of what make Petworth a vibrant and wonderful place to live.

Celebrate Petworth is anchored around four main themes: Art, Music, Food and Healthy Living, and Kids/Family. The focus of the event is to bring residents of Petworth together, not just for the day of the event, but through the creation of new opportunities for collaboration, partnership, and engagement amongst residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations.

We look forward to your application!
