WASHINGTON — D.C.'s newest museum is throwing a block party this weekend! The Capital Jewish Museum, which just opened its doors in June, wants to help celebrate the Jewish New Year on Sunday, Sept. 10.
Organizers say the celebration will include live music, pop-up programs and social justice activities, wares on sale from local artisans and makers, along with food trucks and a beer and wine garden.
Music will be provided by Minnush, a local band that combines traditional Sephardic songs with contemporary elements of American folk, funk and jazz. Check them out here.
