Join acolytes, servers, and vergers from near and far on Saturday, Oct. 12, for Washington National Cathedral’s annual day of celebration, fellowship and learning.
The day begins as participants join in the longest and most colorful procession imaginable—the Grandest of Processions—as we prepare to gather around Christ’s table for a festival Holy Eucharist.
Following the service, participants are invited to spend the afternoon exploring the Cathedral and joining a variety of workshops. Perfect your thurible techniques, help build the LEGO Cathedral create a liturgical streamer, and take a look at Cathedral treasures.
Specialty tours, including a tower climb, are also available on Friday and Saturday with an additional fee (pre-purchase recommended).
Lunch is available for pre-purchase (by October 4) or you are welcome to bring your own.
The festival is a time-honored tradition for many congregations, and we are eager for your return this fall as we also welcome those making their first pilgrimage to the Cathedral.
