Palisades Parade, with Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
Whitehaven Pkwy NW & MacArthur Blvd
Come wrap up Freedom Week with an Independence Day Parade alongside our very own (voteless but relentless) Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. Wear your Young Suffragist shirts and bring any posters that survived the rally! The parade starts at 11 and ends at the Palisades Rec Center on Sherrier Place NW, where the fun continues with free hot dogs, cold drinks and other hot weather outdoor goodies.
