IN THIS ISSUE
Autumn in the region is a time of movement including new routes, stages, and flavors connecting the District to the broader world.
In this issue, Chef Kwame Onwuachi highlights Dōgon’ s diaspora cuisine: dishes that evoke memories across oceans and lands, emphasizing that food acts as both a passport and a sense of home. This same spirit drives our Destination Africa feature, showcasing Accra’ s living history, Addis Ababa’ s sacred rhythms, Cairo’ s ancient relics, Cape Town’ s stunning coastlines, Casablanca’ s aromatic kitchens, Dakar’ s spirited heartbeat, Lagos’ dynamic creativity, and Lomé’ s colorful markets. These African destinations are even more accessible than ever thanks to nonstop flights from Dulles International.
Here at home, the arts thrive like colorful leaves. Hadestown storms The National, Fiddler on the Roof performs at Signature, Fremont Ave. debuts at the Arena Stage, and STC’ s The Wild Duck explores the line between truth and illusion; proof that our theater scene can tell many tales.
Weekends also bring gentler pleasures: pumpkin patches at Wegmeyer Farms, festival fun at Pumpkin Village, and vineyard gatherings at Doukénie, where harvest celebrations happen throughout the community.
Airports serve as gateways to everything, and ours are expanding intentionally. Dulles International’ s Concourse E is nearing completion with a 2026 opening in sight; Reagan National’ s new parking garage is under construction. Even our teams are going further: this fall, the Commanders make history in Madrid.
Throughout these pages, from the stage, the farm, local restaurants, or the departure gate, you’ ll find a thread that leads somewhere meaningful. This fall, let curiosity be your carry-on.
