Van Ness Main Street will be celebrating Art All Night 2021 on Friday, September 24th with performances and art exhibits all around Wakefield, Forest Hills and Van Ness. The 2021 Art All Night Festival is funded by the DC Commission on Arts and Humanities and is made possible by the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development.

We'll gather early in the evening at the UDC Amphitheater for a musical performance by Mariachi Son de America onstage from 7:30-8:30pm, followed by a showing of the film Coco at around 9pm. This event is free and perfect for all ages. You may bring local food and drinks into the park, as well as blankets and cushions.

Movie Night in the Park at the UDC Amphitheater Event details:

About the venue: Nestled in a hillside, the UDC Amphitheater is located in the woods off Yuma Street behind the UDC tennis courts. It is accessible via walking paths from either Yuma Street or Windom Place. We'll have signage placed along the way as well as volunteers directing movie-goers. The venue contains rows of wooden seating with some areas of grass (see photo below). Feel free to bring blankets or cushions to sit on. Portions of the front row/area will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis for those using a wheelchair and for those physically unable to access the upper rows.

Reserve your space: When reserving tickets for the date of the film(s) you'll be attending, please reserve the total number of people in your party. If you find that you're unable to attend, please cancel your order so we have an idea of how many people to expect, and to make the seats available for others.Weather Policy. In case of inclement weather, the film will be canceled. Check our Facebook page and Twitter for updates: @VanNessMainSt
