Evans Joins Dupont Festival for Groundhog Day Prediction

Councilmember Evans recently joined members of Dupont Festival and the greater Dupont Circle neighborhood for what is sure to become an annual tradition – DC Groundhog Day.

After DC’s groundhog, Potomac Phil, predicting 6 more weeks of winter (and 9 more months of gridlock in the Congress), Evans declared February 2 as DC Groundhog Day through the reading of an official Council resolution.

“Dupont Festival continues to lead the way in bringing Dupont Circle to life with activities like this,” said Evans. “I encourage everyone to get behind their efforts and support these important events.”

Dupont Festival works to organize and implement a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities in the greater Dupont Circle area throughout the year including Police Night Out, FotoWeek NightVisions, Soccer in the Circle, and Green in the Circle.
