VSDC LGBTQ+ Springtime Cherry Blossoms Stroll
Details
Please join the Veg Society of DC (VSDC) with your fellow LGBTQ+ veg and veg-curious folks for a springtime stroll to take in some of the beautiful cherry blossoms on Capitol Hill while making some new friends.
We'll be meeting at the Union Station metro exit at the front of the building at First St. NE and Columbus Cir. NE at 12pm, and will leave by 12:15pm, to slowly stroll through cherry blossoms at Upper Senate Park. From there, we'll make our way over to view a very old cherry blossom tree (one of the originally gifted trees) located on the grounds of the Library of Congress.
We will then walk to Eastern Market area to enjoy browsing the outdoor market vendors and maybe grab some vegan food and/or coffee, depending on how the group feels. The total distance we will be walking is under two miles. After the event concludes, people can take the metro from Eastern Market or make their own way back to Union Station (which would add additional distance to their walk).
[In the event of rain, we will instead meet at 12pm at the U.S. Botanical Gardens (Capitol South metro is a short walk away) and see some indoor flowers. The host will post an urgent Comment on this event page if we are moving to the indoor venue.]
When
Sunday, March 29, from 12pm to 3pm
Transportation
Union Station is on the red line and Eastern Market is on the Orange/Blue/Silver lines. There is also street parking, though very limited near Union Station, as well as several garages, including one at Union Station.
Update Your RSVP
Please change your RSVP if you can no longer make it.
