Fossil Free Festival is a celebration of organizations that envision a Fossil Free GW and are fighting for a better future.

Join us in a day of solidarity with the people of Palestine, featuring offerings from friends and local artists highlighting Palestinian art, culture, resilience, and resistance. DCAF will be there selling our “Movement is Borderless” merch—new and old—to benefit Palestinian mutual aid efforts, as well as handing out free resources and information about abortion funding in DC!

This fundraiser event is an all day festival divided into daytime and evening activities. During the day from 1-6pm we'll be hosting a Pop-Up Market on the porch and into the yard. Inside, we'll have workshops and classes like yoga and DANCEmandala. In the evening, we invite you for an Iftar ritual and dinner ahead of our evening show featuring Ahmad Damen, a classically trained Palestinian oud player. Come for just some or register for all activities throughout the day- find specific event details below!

All funds raised will be donated to Gaza relief efforts through direct mutual aid efforts better able to mobilize given current restrictions and difficult conditions on the ground. RSVP here!
