What started as small grassroots show has blossomed into one of the city's best festivals! This will be our 6th year leading a ride to Kingman Island, a hidden gem on the Anacostia river. Every Spring we look forward to bringing people to this great space and enjoying awesome local music. Join us for a ride to the festival (purchase festival tickets separately). The ride meets at 10am at 440 K Street and ends at 11:30am at Kingman Island, where you get early access to festival and a bike valet. The ride is a casual social ride that will wind along the river on streets and multi-use paths to Kingman Island.
