If you went to Capitol Hill on August 31, 2024, you would have found Tai Chi performers, people playing Go, lion and dragon dances, and stuffed pandas. This is no normal day in DC, it’s the Chinese Culture Festival. Every year since 1993, it draws hundreds of people to gather at Capitol Hill, and clearly NOT for any political event.
The culture festival was created to spread awareness of Chinese culture, hence the name. Last year, my service group, Capitol Youth Outreach Club, volunteered at this festival, and my job was to walk around the city and do some advertising. This year, I switched to the reporter group. My job this time around was to take pictures and videos and write a report on the festival.

As part of the Capital Youth Outreach Club, it is my job to write an article highlighting special, and unique parts of the event.

中国，世界四大文明古国之一，上下五千年的历史，积淀了博大精深的中华文化。从早期的旧石器时代开始，逐渐发展，共历经八十三个朝代，最耳熟能详的唐、宋、元、明、清等，发展至今形成了丰富多彩的文化遗产，这些文化代代相传，享誉海内外，令人赞叹。美国华盛顿中国文化节为大家提供了一个展示和宣传中国文化的机会，在文化节中互相学习，促进交流。2024年8月31日，第二十二届华盛顿中国文化节在美国首都华盛顿的Penn Ave 的第三街和第四街隆重开幕。本次文化节得到了美国工商联合会、美国大华府地区中国大专院校校友会联合会、哈维中文学校、华人社区联盟、美中经济文化交流协会、美国华人转与团体联合会、美中实验学校、希望中文学校和华盛顿地区同乡联合会等团体的大力支持。华府青年CYOC的几百位大小义工积极的参与本次文化节的服务活动，为文化节的顺利进行发挥了积极的作用。本次文化节也邀请到了国内团体的参与，包括北京市少年宫、上海市崇明小学、西安高新第二学校、郑州高新区外国语小学等单位，共同庆祝中美建交45周年。

On Saturday, August 9, I attended a celebration of the 30th anniversary of CAAGW, which is an nonprofit organization that promotes friendship among the Chinese community and with others. There were so many unique performances performed by people of all ages; from choirs to all kinds of dances, it was a truly spectacular show. All the shows were able to showcase Chinese culture and I felt really good being able to connect with my culture and see the many talents of people in my community.I volunteered to help with the organization of the event to make it run smoothly. My friend Jennifer W. and I stood at the entrance directing people to the stage/seating area. So many people came in to watch the performance or be a part of the performance, so it was a very lively night. It was also interesting to see the detailed costumes worn by the performers. The volunteers here made this event possible by helping to move objects backstage and cleaning up. In return, we were able to enjoy a spectacular show!I am so grateful for being able to help out in this community of friends and family. Sitting in the audience listening to the dancing and singing made me want to sing too! I would also like to mention without the parents who contributed their efforts, this special event couldn’t have happened. I am looking forward to the next event from CAAGW!

On September 9, 2023, the Chinese Alumni Associations of Greater Washington (CAAGW) held a 30th anniversary party. This marked a significant milestone in CAAGW’s mission to foster an inclusive community.
Established in 1993, the CAAGW has become a non-profit organization composed of 78 colleges and university alum associations. This has made CAAGW into the echelons of distinction as one of the largest and most influential Chinese associations in the DMV area. The CAAGW not only serves the Chinese community, but also supports all communities unwaveringly. These 30 years have been nothing short of glorious for the CAAGW and all of its associates.
