You’ll stroll through light-filled galleries to take in special exhibitions sourced from all across the world. Reaching well beyond Washington, SAM hosts Asian, African, Ancient American, Ancient Mediterranean, Islamic, European, Oceanic, Asian, and modern American work.

It returns for 2018 from August 10th to 12th and features the usual range of live performances, street food, local beer, and interactive entertainment. It’s Kirkland’s signature event of the year, and we’re proud to have been a sponsor in the past.
