Join us for a Spring Celebration & Parade led by Batalá drummers along our ‘Tree Walk Through History!’
Enjoy a lively sunset drumming performance with Batalá, Washington’s all-female Samba Reggae Percussion Band.
The performance and parade will begin promptly @ 5:00 pm near the cemetery’s main gate and take you on a spirited tour of the cemetery’s arboretum and its leafy tree tunnels. Batalá will lead a New Orleans-style procession along the half-mile path.
In honor of Arbor Day Weekend, heritage trees and recently planted saplings by Casey Trees will be displayed with ribbons and festive placards that identify each woody species by their botanical and common names.
Light refreshments to follow in the Chapel.
This event is FREE!
Dogs may attend but MUST BE ON LEASH.
WARNING: This event will include heavy use of loud drums.
