Live! Concert Series Wraps Up its 19th Season

Live! Concert Series on the Plaza wrapped up its 19^th season at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center (RRB/ITC) ending another summer of live music on Woodrow Wilson Plaza. As one of DC’s longest running free concert series, this unique activation brings some of DC’s most talented musical entertainers to the Live! stage performing a variety of genres including jazz, country, contemporary pop, rock, and more.

This season was another huge success, capturing a wide range of performers and musical flavors including Ms. Kim and Scooby, a popular DMV Go-Go band; Tamika Joy, an R&B singer from Virginia; and a fan favorite every year , Good Shot Judy, a swing band with a very lively performance! Each year, this event continues to capture the attention of a diverse crowd of all ages. 

Also back this year, “Play on the Plaza” provided additional entertainment for guests to challenge each other to friendly and competitive games such as giant chess, corn hole, and more while enjoying daily concerts. On Fridays throughout the concert series guests could also take advantage of our weekly farmer's market, Capital Harvest on the Plaza (CHoP) featuring farm-fresh produce, artisanal novelties and local eats.

For the grand finale of the 19th season, Sugar Bear and EU, a dynamic Go-Go band, took the stage with incredible energy, drawing in a massive crowd to close out the concert series. Wilson Plaza came to life from the excitement of the audience, dancing and singing along to every musical number they performed - a fitting end to the 2019 season.
