Washington National Cathedral Turns 100
Today is Cathedral Day at the Washington National Cathedral to celebrate its 100th birthday, so if the National Book Festival is not your kind of thing to do today, then perhaps you may want to check out this celebration. The main event of the Cathedral Day celebrations is the Birthday Cake at 2:15pm. There will be special demonstrations throughout the day that goes from 10am to 5pm. These demonstrations include brass polishing and stained glass artisans. At noon there is a reenactment of the laying of the foundation stone called “A journey back in time…1907.” Starting at 8:30am tickets go on sale to climb the Central Tower for time slots between 9am and 3:30pm. All day there you can do the Triforium visit to see stained glass up close. Check out this link for a full list of the special tours going on today. The Centennial Evening Prayer will be held at 4:30pm. Of course, there will also be food here from places like Robek’s, Armand’s Pizza, and Asian Grille. There is also music throughout the day from a variety of bands including the U.S. Marine Band.
