Enkutatash Ethio Festival

The Enkutatash Ethio festival was held this year at Barcroft park, just off Columbia Pike. Many local Ethiopian businesses, artists, artisans, performers, and civic groups highlighted this festive family-oriented day on the Ethiopian calendar.

From Wikipedia: Enkutatash (Ge'ez: እንቁጣጣሽ) is a public holiday in coincidence of New Year in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It occurs on Meskerem 1 on the Ethiopian calendar, which is 11 September according to the Gregorian calendar. More information on the holiday is here.
