The date for the third annual Columbia Heights Day has been set — this year’s iteration will be August 29 on the field at Harriet Tubman Elementary School at 11th and Kenyon Streets NW (across the street from Wonderland). Organizers tell us this year’s fest will feature live music, dance groups, eating contests, local businesses, kids’ activities, and more, including a petting zoo. Last year’s Columbia Heights Day was pretty fun, with the petting zoo featuring a camel, and a cupcake eating contest featured some local politicians — council candidate Patrick Mara held his own eating the cakes, while Jim Graham and Carol Schwartz performed various hosting/hanging around duties. And FYI, Columbia Heights Day still accepting applications for local businesses and restaurants, community groups, and craftspeople who’d like to participate: go to their website or email columbiaheightsday[at]gmail[dot]com
