Dedication and "Soft" Opening: All Aboard the Peace Train!

This event marks the "soft" opening of the DC Peace Mural Exhibition. The official "Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting" is the following weekend, on Sunday, Dec. 7th. Today's event will include a simple Dedication Ceremony that will feature a "Peace Train Parade" and will include a workshop/activity designed for young and old, hosted by one of our partner groups, Little Friends for Peace.

The fun starts at 1:30 when children of all ages (adults too!) are invited to enter Santa's workshop in the activity room in the rear of the Exhibition gallery. The folks from Little Friends for Peace will have the materials to help you construct your own Peace Train Car. Then, you'll get to ride your own car in the Peace Train Parade around the Peace Mural exhibition and on over to Francis Scott Key Park next to the exhibition site.

Opening today, the Peace Mural Exhibition runs through Friday, Jan. 30 (2009).

• Sunday – Thursday: 10AM – 9PM
• Friday and Saturday: 10AM – MIDNIGHT
