Performances Daily at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage6:00pm - 7:00pm
Free
A three-day celebration of the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial.
*** Special events in Honor of MLK this weekend! ***
It's a bit tricky getting to the Kennedy Center by 6:00pm I realize, during rush hour especially. So, I wanted to be sure that you all know that you can also stream the shows and watch them live from the comfort of your home, office or wherever you happen to be at that hour! I use this feature often and LOVE it!
They also archive all of the performances so you can watch them online anytime so instead of just visiting YouTube, Hulu and Netflix, you can also check out the Archives from the Millennium Stage! Personal Pick from the Archive: "Brave New Voices - Bringing the Noise for the Earth"Talented and inspiring kids doing amazing things to help promote a sustainable future.
Below is a list of remaining performances in August:
