In partnership with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the DC Public Schools Performing Arts Festival brings together more than 100 student ensembles, ranging from kindergarten to twelfth grade, for a remarkable showcase of talent and dedication. This annual event celebrates the artistic accomplishments of students and highlights the collaborative efforts of teachers, administrators, and community partners who support and nurture arts education. From vocal groups and instrumental ensembles to dance and theater performances, the festival provides a platform for young artists to shine and express their creativity. It also serves as a testament to the power of arts education in fostering growth, confidence, and a sense of community among students across the district.
