For the first time, a unique blend of international art and dialogue is coming to every quadrant of the city at once. Halcyon’s four day “By The People” festival will take place from June 21-24 at various festival hubs, satellite locations and one-time event spaces throughout Washington, DC.

“Austin has South by Southwest and Aspen has it’s Ideas Festival,” Halcyon CEO and Co-Founder Kate Goodall says. “It’s time for Washington, DC to have its own destination festival — one that is open and accessible to all, that reinforces this country’s founding principles and builds on its longstanding commitment to civil discourse.”
