About this Event

Join us for a magical evening of music, movement, and connection as we gather to celebrate the Spring Equinox along the historic C&O Canal.

On Saturday, March 21st, we’ll meet at the beautiful Lockhouse 22, nestled beside the canal, for an intimate firelit frolic under the evening sky. As the sun sets around 7:00 PM, we’ll slip on our silent disco headphones and dance together beside the canal, welcoming the season of renewal, light, and fresh beginnings.

This special gathering will be simple, soulful, and full of cozy charm — think lantern light, crackling fire, good music, and joyful community.

✨ Expect:

• A curated silent disco dance experience

• Fire pit gathering under the stars

• Cozy lantern-lit ambiance

• A joyful community celebrating the return of spring

• The peaceful beauty of the C&O Canal at dusk
