Spend a summer evening exploring Hillwood after its usual closing time. Families can tour the mansion, gardens, greenhouse, and Interwoven: A Tradition of Textiles exhibition; make a no-sew embroidery collage; try drop-in upcycling, weaving, and quilting activities; and play lawn games on the Lunar Lawn. Food and drinks will be available to purchase.
The JoGo Project performs its blend of jazz and DC go-go music from 6:15–7 p.m. and 7:45–8:30 p.m. Curator and conservator chats in the textile exhibition run in several 20-minute sessions between 6:30 and 8:20 p.m.
The program takes place rain or shine, though outdoor activities may move inside or be modified. Outside alcohol is not permitted.
