New Date: Wednesday, October 28th

Washington, D.C. is a city defined by its rhythm, and few sounds capture our collective heartbeat quite like Go-Go.

Since opening our physical doors in historic Anacostia in February 2025, the Go-Go Museum & Café has blossomed into a vital cultural destination. In just over a year, we have welcomed hundreds of visitors, hosted dozens of communities and educational programs, and created a permanent home where the history and legacy of our homegrown sound lives on.

To ensure our continued growth and sustainability, the Go-Go Museum is proud to announce its Second Annual Fundraiser—an unforgettable, Dress-to-Impress Affair celebrating the artists, leaders, champions, and history-makers who have helped shape Washington, D.C.’s official music.

This high-profile evening centers on the official 2026 Go-Go Museum Hall of Fame Inductions, Cultural Honors, and a brand-new Installation Reveal.

Hosted by EZ Street and Darnell Perkins.

*Food & Open Bar
* Hall of Fame Inductions & Cultural Honors
* Live Performances
* Installation Reveal
* Silent Auction
* …and much more!
Our Goal: $250,000 over the next three months.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 over the next three months to support the continued operations of the Go-Go Museum, live artist performances, educational programming, cultural preservation, and opportunities for artists and the community. This isn’t simply a fundraiser. It is an investment in preserving the history, culture, sound, and future of Washington, D.C.

Come dressed to impress and help us celebrate the people who built this culture — while investing in the next generation who will carry it forward.

If you are unable to attend the event, you are welcome to make a direct donation via our donation link.
