Birthday cake also will be offered to celebrate the Cathedral’s 94th birthday.
Special guests will be confirmed in the near future.
Evensong concludes the day at 4 p.m. Open House is free; some activities have small fees. A free shuttle bus will run between Tenleytown Metro and the Cathedral from 9:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please call (202) 537-3129 for more information.
