Despite broken escalators & elevators, line closures, herky-jerky rides, a lackluster campaign slogan of “getting back to good,” riding the Washington Metro system today lifted my spirits! #wmata #MtVernonSquare #MountVernonSquare #UnsuckDCmetro (at Mount Vernon Square station) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byg3Lo1jVSx/?igshid=rpomr3oemu63

Over 100 vendors will sell their wares or display information about their causes to the public. A tremendous array of flowers, plants, accessories, arts and crafts, non-profit literature and wellness services will be available. In addition, we have arranged a colorful palette of varied entertainment for your enjoyment on two stages, including rock and roll and country bands, vocalists and several kinds of dancing, some with audience participation! Check out the Entertainment page for the schedule. On Saturday, the West Park will host a special Children’s Camp from noon to 5PM. Kids will be able to make origami animals, Mother’s Day cards and more, plus the Urban Pirates will hold storytime. Make a hat or flower costume, bring your pet or show off your Terpsichorean skills by entering one (or more) of our four contests. Click on the Contests page for more information and entry forms. And of course there is the lovely food, including crabcakes and pit beef in the food court and gourmet food around the Monument. Stop at the lemon peppermint stand and get yourself the delicious signature FlowerMart treat.
