Your Guide to April in D.C.
April in D.C. is about more than just cherry blossoms. The City Cast D.C. crew has recommendations for upcoming festivals, celebrations, and new ways to explore the city. Let us be your guide to ensure April isn’t the cruelest month.
Plus, at the end of the episode, senior executive producer Priyanka Tilve sits down with our sponsor District Bridges to talk about one event THEY think you should attend this April: Juernes. Learn more about that and District Bridges' other community-building projects at districtbridges.org.
