The 4th Annual DC Arab Culture Festival 2026

🎉 We’re back for year four! The DC Arab Culture Festival has become a cornerstone event celebrating Arab and Arab American culture in Washington, DC. After last year’s packed celebration at the Kennedy Center’s REACH, with over 1,100 attendees, we’re thrilled to return with a vibrant, community-powered experience this summer.

The Kennedy Center team called last year’s festival “a tremendous success.” The event was also featured in The Washington Post’s “Best Things to Do in August 2024” and covered by Al Hurra, The Iraqi Media Network, Arab America Foundation, and the New England Network for Justice for Palestine; testament to its growing impact and reach.
