Drag Queen Storytime in Adams Morgan is free and open to children of all ages (and perfect for the entire family!). The goal of Drag Queen Storytime is to inspire a love of reading, while teaching deeper lessons on diversity, self-love and an appreciation of others. Join in Unity Park on the following dates (separate RSVPs required for each event):
- Sunday, June 13 at 11am with Katie Magician
- Sunday, July 11 at 11am with Katie Magician
- Sunday, August 8 at 11am with Venus

This event is hosted in partnership with the Adams Morgan Partnership BID, The Line Hotel, and DC Public Library. The DC Public Library will be in attendance with their famous ‘Library on the Go-Go Book Bike’ – a library pop-up on wheels. The bike unfolds into shelves so community members can browse a small collection on the go, check out or return books, and get more information about library resources.
Please be sure to bring a blanket to sit on or a small lawn chair. Drag Queen Storytime is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled due to inclement weather. Please check your email and our social media accounts for announcements the day of the event.

Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. is delighted to announce Serve Your City / Ward 6 Mutual Aid as the beneficiary of the hotel’s Tenth Annual FANtastic 5K and Silent Auction. On Saturday, October 30, 2021, hotel guests, colleagues, visitors, and locals are invited to lace up their running shoes in support of advancing southwest, D.C. youth. Since its inception, the FANtastic 5K has raised over $302,000 for education and development efforts in Southwest Washington, D.C.
The FANtastic 5K run/walk kicks off at 9:00a.m. with registration beginning at 8:30a.m. in front of the hotel. Participants will follow a safe and picturesque course leading through the National Mall and concluding with a post-race breakfast and silent auction.
Andi Sullivan, captain of the NWSL’s Washington Spirit women’s professional soccer club and member of the U.S. Women’s National Team will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the day’s activities as brand ambassador for Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. Sullivan will lead participants through a Washington Spirit pre-game stretch, cheer on runners and walkers, and meet with fans.
“As the brand ambassador for Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C., I am excited to team up and assist in raising funds for a commendable organization like Serve Your City. Providing underprivileged youth in D.C. with life-changing experiences, many of which are offering access to sports and costly equipment, is dear to my heart,” stated Andi Sullivan, captain of the Washington Spirit.
For more than a decade, Serve Your City, a non-profit organization, has provided life-changing experiences and opportunities for at-risk D.C. students. Serve Your City seeks to offer black and brown youth in Ward 6 with inspiring experiences, tutoring, after-school enrichment, and lifesaving support.
The fee to participate is USD 35 and includes snacks, a pre-run stretching session, FANtastic 5K commemorative t-shirt, post-run buffet breakfast, admission to Silent Auction, and awards. Children 12 and under race for free. Runners and walkers of all levels are invited to join, including dogs on a leash. Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. also welcomes the donations of those who don’t wish to participate in the 5K.
