Tsagaan Sar celebration | Mongolian School of the National Capital Area

Most of Arlington's large Mongolian community lives along Columbia Pike. This year many attended the colorful Tsagaan Sar (Mongolian New Year -"White Moon") family-oriented festival at the Mongolian School of tNational Capitol Area. Games, music performances, Mongolian foods, traditional dances, dress, respect for wisdom of the elders and other vibrant expressions of the culture were celebrated.

A protest rally against anti-immigrant raids by ICE (the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency) in Arlington organized by LaColectiva with participation by interfaith groups was held outside the Arlington Mill Community Center, at the corner of S. Dinwiddie Street and Columbia Pike. 

Our diverse, hardworking, openminded community vigorously speaking out for their safety and their rights.
