Celebrate George Washington’s 294th Birthday

Celebrate George Washington’s birthday during America’s Semiquincentennial with a day full of live music, historic demonstrations, and special commemorations at his Virginia estate.

Observe a moving ceremony in which people from across the world become U.S. citizens and hear a concert by the United States Air Force Strings. 

Meet the General himself and watch how hoecakes were made in the 18th century, explore a Revolutionary War encampment, and visit discovery stations to learn about Washington’s life.
